Study in Cyprus from Pakistan
Affordable, English-taught degrees at the doorstep of Europe. Cyprus offers EU-recognised, English-taught degrees at some of the most affordable tuition fees in Europe, with a warm climate and a growing reputation as a safe, welcoming base for international students at the crossroads of Europe, Asia and Africa.
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.
Undergraduate, postgraduate and pathway programmes
Foreign Migration guides students into Cyprus at every level of study, not only postgraduate degrees:
