Early morning on a Monday as I was on my way to my faculty, trying to board a bus that Eastern Mediterranean University provided for students to meet up with classes everyday. This one was to take me to my magnificent faculty.

Two friends of mine came along to board the same bus. We have been friends since 2006 when we came to study here in North Cyprus and due to our schedules; we don't see each other often. One asked me "What are you doing here Jerry?" I responded I was waiting for a ride to South campus. "South Campus!" he exclaimed , and then there were some minutes of silence. I was about to ask why the awkward silence when both of them looked at each other’s faces and told me "What are you talking about? Don't you know there is a green line separating North and South Cyprus ?" "Come on get serious" the other said. Then I realized that many people were still ignorant of the north and south campuses of this noble institution.

 The South campus of the Eastern Mediterranean University is located on a beautiful landscape and well-designed layout, as you drive along the one way leading to the prestigious Faculty of Communication and Media Studies, as well as the School of Foreign Languages. At the end of the same road, you come across the elementary school of our university.

 The Faculty of Communication and Media Studies has four departments, namely

1. Journalism.

2. Public Relation and Advertising.

3. Radio, TV and Film.

4. Visual Arts and Communication Design.

It is an established fact that there are only two faculties in EMU, FCMS AND OTHERS.

 This is because it is the one faculty where students and lecturers have English language speaking as the other of the day. The atmosphere is conducive for learning and very friendly with the well-trained lecturers that are always willing to know the progress of the students by encouraging every student to work hard on their studies.

 One lovable thing about the faculty is that when you walk into their office here in FCMS you are always sure to hear "COME IN ", and they very willing to assist you with warmness and render you qualitative service.

Since communication has to do with giving and receiving and because the University is an international university and an English university too, one can always feel the joy and influence of English language as you approach the campus.

 Furthermore, there are several activities currently going on, on this same campus, such as underwater photography, which motivates many international students in taking their summer school in the faculty based on foreign exchange program. It is now open to every student to participate in this program as far as they can provide the necessary requirements and facilities for this program.  It is also important to mention that this faculty operates the DAU TV, RADIO AKDENIZ AND THE GUNDEM NEWSPAPER. I mean the faculty is the hub of activities here in EMU and I am so proud to be a part of it.

 I am sure you agree with me that the EMU is privileged to have the south campus housing the FACULTY OF COMMUNICATION and MEDIA STUDIES as part of the great EMU body. I sincerely hope that this legacy will continue, as history will always record the great roles the Faculty of communication and media studies has played in the history of EMU.
