The admissions and entry requirements ensure that the students who are admitted to the degree program possess the required competences.

Students from Turkey must select the Near East University and the Computer Engineering Department as their choice, and they must obtain successful pass marks from the Turkish university entrance examinations (prepared and administered by the Higher Education Council of Turkey, YOK). Those who obtain the required marks are admitted to the university, but not necessarily to the Computer Engineering Department.

Because the medium of teaching is in English, the level of their English is assessed by the Faculty of English language. Those students who have certificates and who have already passed English Language proficiency examinations are exempt from the English preparation school and are admitted directly to the department where they are enrolled for the first year and first semester of their studies. Those students whose levels of English writing and communication skills are below the required standards are admitted to the English preparatory
