“UNIC’s Social Work program gave me the opportunity to work in the field and gain the appropriate experiences that served me well for my future, through attending classes and internships. At every stage of my student life, my teachers provided me with all the necessary tools… Become a social worker yourself.”

“While being a young migrant woman myself, I started working with disadvantaged populations and more specifically with refugees and migrants in 2005. My involvement in the human rights field made me want to pursue an education in the field of Social Work, as I believed this would help me make better sense of my experience and would allow me to take on progressively responsible roles.
My dreams became a reality when I started my studies in 2011, after being granted a full scholarship by the University of Nicosia (UNIC). It was beyond imagination that when I graduated in 2015, I would also be awarded as the Best Social Work Student and as the Outstanding Achiever for Social Contribution
I had a wonderful journey at UNIC, thanks to the support and encouragement of the lecturers, practicum supervisors and administration staff, managing to make most out my time there! ”

“While studying at a UK university, I landed the amazing opportunity to go on a 1-year Erasmus exchange to UNIC. Two semesters in Cyprus made me want to drop everything in London and move here. And that’s exactly what I did! I’m now in my 4th year, and last semester as a Psychology student, and I couldn’t be happier!
This has been an indescribable learning opportunity. I’m currently applying for a summer job at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), which is an endeavour I believe UNIC gave me the confidence to undertake!”

“Four years of undergraduate studies in Psychology have taught me what it means to acquire knowledge, how to acquire the correct knowledge, but, most importantly, how to critically evaluate such knowledge. They taught me how to think and not just what to think. I grew as a person, as well as a professional. That’s why I chose to continue my studies here – I’m currently pursuing my Master’s degree in Psychology.”
