EMU-PDRAM:

In the TRNC's Universities, the first Psychological Counseling Guidance and Research Center has been pioneered by Eastern Mediterranean University. The Center was approved by the University Board on November 4^th 1997 as a unit working in direct association with the Rector's office.

The aims of EMU-PDRAM are to help EMU students by offering Preventive Mental Health Services, by creating self-awareness and by increasing the level of successful experiences with their search for understanding and developing an awareness of their social, academic and cognitive potential. As a result of this understanding, these students will become responsible individuals who will be able to share with and to care about, others no matter how culturally different these others may be, and accept them for who they are. With the support of the Center, students, hopefully, will mature into the kind of individuals who will be capable of leading  a productive and successful life during and after graduation.

EMU-PDRAM has a vision of increasing the performance and developing cognitive and behavioral skills of all students at the university.

The Mission of EMU-PDRAM is to make available counseling services to the student population, and orientation programs for the new students. Also EMU-PDRAM conducts psychological research projects that study certain aspects of student needs and expectations at EMU. Academic and non-academic departments generally use the results obtained as a guide toward establishing student satisfaction and well-being on the campus.
