SHSS Newsletter 10 | 2025-26

The School of Humanities and Social Sciences (SHSS) Newsletter

The 10th edition of the SHSS Newsletter marks the end of the first half of the academic year 2025-2026 and highlights the remarkable achievements, activities, and contributions of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences at the University of Nicosia. This edition showcases the dedication of faculty and students in advancing research, fostering international collaborations, and engaging in community-based projects.

This edition presents key activities, including programme accreditations by CYQAA and HAHE, the expansion of the BSc Psychology programme to the UNIC Athens campus, and the results of the SHSS 2025 elections, with new leadership appointments across the School and Departments.

The School’s Departments have been actively involved in impactful projects, such as the IBEQuA research initiative funded by the European Commission, and the ERASMUS+ funded project Bridges by Mentors, through which seven students had the opportunity to receive specialised mentoring training in Bulgaria. Other highlights include participation in international conferences and festivals, student visits to companies and museums, and the publication of the Zealos journal.

I would like to thank faculty and students who contributed to this edition of the SHSS Newsletter. I remain hopeful that upon reading the contributions of our SHSS academic community, more colleagues will be inspired to share their experiences and achievements in the next editions of the Newsletter.
This edition of the SHSS Newsletter is a testament to the School’s unwavering dedication to academic excellence, research innovation, and community engagement. It serves as an inspiring record of the collective achievements of the SHSS community, which should be showcased and celebrated.

With best wishes for a healthy and prosperous New Year 2026,

Professor Ioulia Papageorgi
SHSS Newsletter Editor
Associate Dean of School
