All programmesAbout the School of Life and Health Sciences
Its remit runs the full distance from molecular biology to the delivery of care. Living organisms are complex at both the molecular and the macroscopic scale, and the networks inside them regulate the functions that decide health and disease; the School's research is built to cross that range rather than settle at one end of it, with basic and applied work carried out together and its faculty publishing more than ninety papers a year.

What Students and Graduates Say
Regulatory affairs are integral to the registration and approval of pharmaceutical products in an increasingly demanding legislative and competitive environment. The Drug Regulatory Affairs programme from the University of Nicosia will provide the participants with a comprehensive overview of the complex regulatory landscape across all phases of the drug development process. The programme graduates will be able to contribute to the registration of safe and effective medicinal products in compliance with stringent regulatory requirements.
UNIC has helped me to refine the tools I possess, necessary to forge my own path after graduating.
George D. GeorgiouHuman Biology, Class of 2012Regulatory Affairs (RA) professionals play a critical role in the pharmaceutical industry since they are the ones responsible for a healthcare product’s lifecycle, providing strategic and operational direction and support to work within the regulations and guidelines to expedite the development and delivery of safe and effective products worldwide. The demand for RA professionals is evident across the pharma industry, consultancy companies, regulatory agencies, and clinical research organisations. The postgraduate course at the University of Nicosia offers high-quality education for people who would like to follow this career pathway. In addition, the programme is structured in such a way that it offers those already employed in this field at a junior level the opportunity for continuing professional development
I’ve gained so much during my time at UNIC: knowledge, confidence, opportunities, and friends. Studying Pharmacy has definitely been a challenge, but such an exciting and worthwhile journey. I’ve learned so much and can’t wait for what’s ahead!
