Graduates

A global network of more than 100,000 graduates from more than 100 countries.

As I progressed through the programme I knew that I had found my passion. It was the first time which I truly enjoyed learning and I found myself thriving academically. Not only were these courses stimulating and insightful, but they also gave me the opportunity to interact with my peers from across the globe. Simply hearing and discussing the different perspectives of others further highlighted just how impactful digital currencies could be for the future of finance.

Trey Edwards, USADigital Currency - Class of 2019

The knowledge and experiences I acquired as a student at the University definitely shaped me as both an individual and a professional. Due to its geographical position and rich history, Cyprus is a truly unique place, ideal for studying International Relations. Indeed, this has given me a great advantage in my current position, where I get to apply all I have learnt during my studies. I am a very proud UNIC graduate!

Rafaella Georgiou, CyprusEnglish Language & Literature - Class of 2014, MA in International Relations and European Studies - Class of 2016

My experience at the Medical School played a pivotal role in securing my Core Training Post at John Radcliffe Hospital, part of the Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. This academic milestone marked the convergence of my aspirations and UNIC’s exceptional support. The rigorous academic curriculum and clinical exposure provided me with a strong foundation in medical sciences and patient care. The Careers Office was an unwavering pillar of support throughout my journey at UNIC. I am grateful for its role in my success and will continue to apply my acquired knowledge and skills throughout my career at Oxford.

Dr Evelyn Quelch, United KingdomDoctor of Medicine (MD) - Class of 2022

Looking back, I can now safely say that the MD programme prepared me extremely well throughout my six years of study. It provided the necessary knowledge and skills that gave me confidence while dealing with patients and proceeding methodically from a patient history and physical examination to the appropriate differential diagnosis and treatment plan.

Questions

Good to know before you apply.

Can I apply to more than one programme?

You start one application here, for one programme, and you choose which campus or online delivery it is for. If you want to be considered for a second programme, start a second application from your applicant dashboard once this one is open.

What documents do I need?

Academic transcripts, evidence of English-language proficiency where your previous degree was not taught in English, identification, and anything specific to your programme such as a personal statement, references or a portfolio. You do not need them to start: the form opens your application, and documents are added afterwards.

Can I save my application and come back?

Yes. Submitting this form creates your UNIC applicant account and opens your application straight away. A partly finished application saves, so you can return to it whenever you like.

When will I hear back?

The Admissions Office assesses your application against the programme requirements and comes back to you. Some programmes, the Medical School among them, add a selection stage, so those take longer.

How do I apply to Medicine or Veterinary Medicine?

On this form, the same as every other programme. Choose the Doctor of Medicine or the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine in the Programme list, and the form creates your application in the Medical School admissions system, which handles both schools. Both add a selection stage, so they take longer to come back to you.

Is the online degree the same degree?

Yes. Distance-learning students are taught to the same academic standards and receive the same degree certification as their on-campus peers. The mode of study is different; the degree is the same.

What about scholarships, tuition and a visa?

Tuition is calculated on the ECTS system and is priced separately for UNIC Nicosia and UNIC Athens, so check the live fee pages for the current figures. Scholarships, enrolment and, if you need one, your visa or entry permit are handled with the Admissions Office and the International Student Support team once you have an offer.

It takes a couple of minutes to open, and nothing is final until you submit your documents.
