What our Students and Alumni Say

I consider myself lucky for attending the MD  programme since it provides its students with a worldwide recognized degree and prepares them for future careers both in Europe and the US. The professors are extremely supportive and make it their goal to help the students not only understand the demanding medical material in depth but also use it in practice in the various laboratory sessions.

Dimitra Dimaki, Class of 2024, Greece

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.

Dr Foivos Koulaidis,
Greece | Rural Medical Internship, Gytheion, Greece

Studying Medicine at the University of Nicosia Medical School, I was exposed to a multicultural community and a wide range of learning opportunities. Every member of the university team had a common goal: to provide the appropriate level of training and produce competent physicians. Through the MD curriculum, I acquired both clinical experience and essential skills that facilitated my future career in the United Kingdom.

Dr Antigoni Papaioannou,
Class of 2020

I am fortunate enough to be studying at a state-of-the-art Medical School and one of the few in Europe that uses cadavers as a learning resource. This practice is invaluable to my studies, and which alongside the course’s early clinical exposure and diverse placement opportunities, will assist me in becoming a competent doctor but also a competitive applicant for residency.
