What Our Students and Alumni Say
This programme has broadened my scope and has given depth to my understanding of family medicine and its practice. It has helped me develop a reflective, empathetic and structured communication pattern with my patients. The access to high quality resource materials, the student friendly approach, and the supportive distinguished tutors are only a few of the advantages of this programme.
Dr Daniel UnegbuMSc in Family Medicine, Class of 2022The University of Nicosia was my first choice when deciding to pursue a Master’s degree. I like the flexibility the programme offers full-time working professionals such as myself. The experience is enhanced through online interactive lectures and tutorials. An added bonus is that the programme is taught in English which made it especially appealing to me given my educational background.
Stephanie ZeitouniMPH, Class of 2022UNIC Medical School is well-known as one of the few universities in Europe that uses cadavers as an educational aid. Medical students will also have the opportunity to experience early clinical years, which will allow them to become competent doctors.
Waleed Yassir Abbas SalimMD, Class of 2027, SudanOne 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.
