The University of Cyprus
The main objectives of the University of Cyprus are twofold: the promotion of academic achievement and education through teaching and research, and the enhancement of the cultural, social and economic development of Cyprus. The research programs conducted at the University cover a wide range of fields that relate to specializations and departments presently in operation. They are funded either through the University’s budget or by funding agencies in Cyprus or abroad.
The University is widely recognized as an agent of change for the educational and cultural life of the country. With its brief thirteen-year history of educational services, the University of Cyprus has earned the respect of the international academic community and the appreciation of Cypriot society. These achievements are the result of the systematic efforts of our academic staff, the tireless efforts of the administrative workforce, and the enthusiasm of the student community.
The programs of study at the University of Cyprus cover a wide spectrum of scientific areas, from the study of economy and technology, to the humanities and the arts and the letters.
