Welcome to the Department of Environmental Protection and Control at the Vocational School of Technical Sciences, University of Kyrenia!
Our mission is to educate environmental professionals equipped with knowledge, skills, and awareness to protect our natural environment, promote the principles of sustainability, and contribute to leaving a more liveable world for future generations.
We believe that environmental challenges can be addressed not only through technical solutions but also through social awareness. For this reason, our curriculum focuses on topics such as climate change, biodiversity conservation, waste management, water and air quality, renewable energy, and environmental ethics. Our students graduate as individuals who can identify environmental problems, develop sustainable solutions, and apply innovative methods in environmental management.
As a department, we value contributing to society not only within the university but also through collaborations with local communities, public institutions, the private sector, and non-governmental organisations. Through joint projects, awareness activities, field practices, and volunteer work, our students transform theoretical knowledge into concrete steps that benefit society.
Our mission is to raise environmental awareness, support sustainable lifestyles, and promote eco-friendly practices that make a difference not only at regional and local levels but also on an international scale. We believe that even small individual actions can lead to significant changes, and we encourage our students to be active participants in this transformation.
By taking part in the projects, activities, and initiatives of the Department of Environmental Protection and Control at the University of Kyrenia, you can contribute both to your own future and to the future of society and nature. Because we know that a cleaner, greener, and more sustainable world is possible - together.
