Cypriot Students Studying Overseas Can Transfer to the University of Nicosia
The Cyprus Agency of Quality Assurance and Accreditation in Higher Education (DIPAE) announced today (05/06/2020)* that students on undergraduate university programmes abroad can continue their studies in Cyprus. More specifically, these students can complete their studies and earn a degree from a Cypriot university after having attended courses corresponding to at least 60 ECTS (i.e. one year of study).
The University of Nicosia (UNIC) is already accepting applications for new candidates and transfer students to its more than 100 conventional on-campus and online programmes of study, at the undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral level. The practice of transferring credits from universities abroad has been in place since the University’s inception with many students successfully transferring and graduating over the years.
It should be noted that students benefit from a choice of language of instruction (Greek or English) in most programmes of study, as well as flexibility in the mode of study (full-time or part-time) and in the schedule of courses of conventional on-campus programmes (morning, afternoon, evening).
Registrations for the new Aademic Year 2020-2021, which begins on 28 September 2020, have already begun and those interested can contact the Department of Admissions at 22841528 and [email protected].
Cyprus took timely and effective measures to prevent against the spread of COVID-19. In this regard, it has managed to successfully meet the pressing public health and societal challenges the pandemic poses and emerge as one of the safest member-states of the European Union, counted among the countries of the world in “green zones” (countries that have managed the virus effectively).
The University of Nicosia also met the challenge with resounding success, making full use of technology by successfully adopting and implementing the distance learning mode for all its courses in the very first week. It is worth noting here that the 2020 Times Higher Education (THE) University Impact Rankings ranked the University of Nicosia as the number 42 university in the world in the core area of Quality Education, and among the top 301-400 universities globally in terms of its overall social and economic impact.
Taking into account all the above, in combination with the University’s high-quality teaching and learning, the University of Nicosia presents an excellent choice for those who wish to continue their studies in Cyprus.
