UNIC Stories

Inspiring stories and testimonials from UNIC students and alumni.

  • Mark Wahba

    The anatomy lab of the School of Veterinary Medicine is an essential component of our programme and provides opportunities for handling different domestic animals and learning dissection techniques utilising real specimens. The lab is also equipped with Anatomage, the latest anatomical visualisation technology worldwide, which provides an interactive learning experience, allowing me to explore virtual animal anatomy in incredible detail.

  • Eva Sonja Bender

    One of the things that I particularly like about the Medical School is the opportunities we have to contribute to the society by volunteering through the Mobile Clinic. The Mobile Clinic expeditions, which are very popular among the medical students, take place twice a month in rural/remote areas and offer free diagnostic tests.

  • Rania Despoina Petrou

    The BBA programme in Marketing Management provided me with a strong foundation in marketing, business, and communication, which made the transition to MBA studies much smoother. I feel incredibly lucky to have had passionate and supportive lecturers who constantly encouraged me to think broadly, work harder, and nurture my creativity. The critical thinking exercises I encountered in various marketing courses truly enhanced my problem-solving skills and gave me a competitive edge in my current role as marketing executive at an international company. Above all, the programme helped me grow on both personal and professional levels, for which I am genuinely grateful.

    Education is not preparation for life. It is life itself. However, while education is a never-ending process, it is the foundations I acquired at UNIC that made the difference for me. I learned! I think BIG! What about you?
