About the Department of Politics and Governance

Department of Politics and Governance

The economic, political and social issues surrounding Cyprus, the Eastern Mediterranean and the broader region, the European Union and the international arena are in a state of constant flux. Their understanding requires tools to be found in the social and political sciences, looking at the national, regional and international levels, especially their intersections but also the dynamics therein.

The research produced by the Department of Politics and Governance at the University of Nicosia aims to address the nature, causes and impact of socio-political and economic phenomena by focusing on specialised areas of academic inquiry, using a broad range of conceptual and methodological apparatuses, and adopting both disciplinary and inter-disciplinary approaches.

The Department has a senior-level faculty pool and the leading International Relations research team in Cyprus, while it has also established an international reputation on EU and Eastern Mediterranean studies. Its full range of expertise and activities include also Conflict and Negotiation, Political Economy, History, Comparative Politics, Diplomacy and Security, Public Administration and Governance.

In their words

Voices from the Department of Politics and Governance

Not only did I get to study a fascinating programme, but I was also able to develop my personal and social skills in the process. In addition, UNIC students benefit from brilliant professors and staff, willing to guide and help them at any given point and under any circumstance. I was also lucky enough to meet my, then, classmate, and subsequent business partner today!
