The University of Nicosia ranks among the top universities in the world in 5 different subject areas, in the THE WUR by Subject 2025
The Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings by Subject 2025 confirm the University of Nicosia’s (UNIC) continued leadership in Business and Economics, maintaining its position as #1 in Cyprus and Greece.
Correspondingly, UNIC ranks among the Top 176-200 universities in the world, and 40th in the European Union, in the subject.
The Dean of UNIC’s School of Business, Professor Angelika Kokkinaki, noted: “We are honoured by the recognition of the UNIC School of Business in the THE by Subject Rankings, which place us as the leading institution in the subject area in Cyprus, Greece, and the broader region in eastern Mediterranean. While rankings affirm our standing, I firmly believe that the true essence of the UNIC School of Business extends far beyond rankings. What truly distinguishes our School is its firm commitment to excellence in every aspect of academic life. We emphasise interdisciplinary learning, equipping our students with the skills and knowledge essential for the evolving global landscape. Our faculty cultivates a dynamic learning environment where students are encouraged to think critically, employ technologies, challenge conventions, and carve their own distinct academic and professional paths. Moreover, our faculty members are at the forefront of innovation, conducting rigorous, high-impact research while maintaining meaningful engagement with industry leaders. Thus, our steadfast dedication to research, teaching, and contribution to society has propelled the UNIC School of Business to its current prominence, and I am confident that our continued pursuit of excellence will further elevate our reputation and influence in the years to come.”
The Times Higher Education World University Rankings (THE WUR) is possibly the most influential university classification system globally, drawing on five decades of expertise in the sector and millions of individual data points.
These subject rankings are the latest in a succession of distinctions bestowed on UNIC by Times Higher Education, which notably includes ranking the University among the Top 501-600 universities worldwide in its flagship World University Rankings for 2025.
It is worth noting that UNIC has also been ranked among the Top 151-200 universities in the world for Business Administration, in the 2024 ShanghaiRanking’s Global Ranking of Academic Subjects (GRAS). This puts UNIC in first place among universities in Cyprus and Greece, respectively, for Business Administration.
