Numerous Reasons to Study in Cyprus
Introduction • Just like anywhere else, the educational system in Cyprus has its own peculiarities. Not surprisingly, the most popular specialties offered by universities in Cyprus are Hospitality Business and Tourism, although the list of all available programs is by no means limited to these ones.
The Structure of the Academic Year • In most colleges classes start in February or the beginning of October. However, foreigners should register two-three weeks in advance. Institutions also receive rolling admissions for the next start date. There are no pass-fail exams. Instead, a system of testing, research essays, and group projects is used.
Great Universities in Cyprus to Choose • Cyprus has an extensive system of secondary and higher education. However, the latter is particularly popular among foreigners. There are around 25 000 students studying at the Cypriot universities, and the foreigners make up at least one-third of them.

Comfy Accommodation and Attractive Facilities • The accommodation system is designed in such a way that a place in a dormitory should be primarily given to newcomers and foreigners, but the “first come, first served” approach is still widely practiced.
Gorgeous Weather • It’s home to some amazing beaches, and there’s something magical about that Mediterranean water. Ocean swimming, jet-skiing, banana boating, cliff diving – there are lots of ways to play in the sea.
Booming Business Programmes • A staple of Cypriot higher education is the abundance of MBA programmes, which cater to the needs of the welldeveloped local business sector. The largest employers are the banks and holding companies which are relevant players in international trade.
Chances of Getting a Job • Although the recession had a large impact on Cyprus, the economy appears to be recovering. However, there are still serious challenges ahead. The unemployment rate is still relatively high, but has dropped significantly since the height of the recession.
