Message from the Rector of Eastern Mediterranean University

It is with great pride and a forward-looking spirit that I welcome the establishment of the EMU Facilities and Asset Management Academy—a dynamic new academic and professional centre under the EMU International Hub, launched in strategic partnership with the esteemed FAME College – UK.

As one of the region’s most respected universities, Eastern Mediterranean University remains committed to excellence, innovation, and global relevance. This academy represents a vital step in that journey. It has been designed to meet the growing regional and international demand for highly skilled professionals in facilities management, asset optimization, engineering infrastructure, and sustainable built environments.

Through a rich portfolio of UK-accredited programmes, certification tracks, and chartered development pathways, this academy offers a world-class opportunity for:

• University students to build practical, industry-ready skills alongside their academic studies;
• Working professionals to enhance their careers through internationally recognized qualifications;
• Public and private sector institutions to benefit from tailored training and upskilling of their workforce.

I encourage our diverse student body—representing more than 110 nationalities—as well as professionals across Cyprus, Turkey, the Middle East, and beyond, to take full advantage of this transformative opportunity. Whether you are entering the field or advancing within it, the EMU Facilities and Asset Management Academy will empower you with the knowledge, credentials, and confidence to lead in today’s competitive environment.

Let us together set new standards of professional excellence and shape the future of smart, sustainable asset and facilities management across borders.
