The two collaborative institutions have joined forces in the discipline of biomedical sciences, which over the last few decades has had a surge in research output and knowledge application to diseases, while also growing in popularity as an academic discipline in the wider region. CING has been at the forefront of diagnostic, research and postgraduate academic activities in biomedical sciences in Cyprus since its establishment in 1990 and has reinforced its place further as a leader in the sector, with the establishment of the Cyprus School of Molecular Medicine in 2012. This ties in well with UNIC’s initiatives in this field, having made our mark on the provision of education in Cyprus to both local and international students with a range of academic programmes, facilities and overall infrastructure. Our pre-Med programme, Medical School and MSc in Biomedical Sciences, provide common ground for the implementation and future development of the co-operation. The partnership has a strong focus on research, as well as activities relating to academic programmes, including teaching, international student recruitment, and common student and faculty services.
