The higher education system in Cyprus is realized in existing institutions and is opened for students from different corners of the world.

It can be divided into three stages:

  • Basic higher education (degree of the Bachelor)
  • Magistracy (degree of the Master)
  • Doctorate (Doctor of Philosophy degree)

There are also two types of higher education in Cyprus: non-university level (state and private institutes) and university level (the University of Cyprus).

Conditions for enrollment at non-university institutions are the following: finished elementary and secondary education (the final certificate – Apolytirio), successful passing of the entrance examinations and oral interview with admissions recruiters (if required).

University education (6 years) is offered only at the University of Cyprus and available only for the residents of Cyprus, but foreign graduates from high schools who perfectly know Greek or Turkish language can also claim for education here (on the basis of G.C.E.,G.C.S.E. or similar exams).

There are three public and four private universities in Cyprus. The most prestigious is the University of Cyprus in Nicosia with six faculties: humanities, applied sciences, social sciences, education, economics and management, engineering, philology. Education here is only the Greek and Turkish languages: University seeks to attract primarily Cypriots. The other two state universities – is the Cyprus University of Technology in Limassol and the Open University of Cyprus in Nicosia.

Private Universities in Cyprus – The University of Nicosia (Nicosia, Limassol, Larnaca), Cyprus University. Frederick (Nicosia , Limassol), the European University of Cyprus (Nicosia) and the University “Neapolis” (Paphos).
