Why study in Cyprus?

  • Low cost of a European degree. Tuition and living costs are considerably lower than most of Western Europe, while degrees from EU-member Cyprus are recognised across the EU.
  • English-taught throughout. The great majority of international programmes are taught fully in English, with no need for Greek.
  • Safe and welcoming. A small, safe country with a large, well-established international student community, especially from South Asia and Africa.
  • Strategic location. Easy access to Europe, the Middle East and Africa, useful for students considering a regional career or further study in mainland Europe.
