Cyprus College

University, Graduate school in Nicosia, Cyprus

Cyprus College, founded in 1961, describes itself as the oldest higher education institution in Cyprus. It has two locations: Cyprus College Nicosia, which operates on the campus of European University Cyprus, and Cyprus College Limassol, open since September 2010. European University Cyprus was established in September 2007 after Cyprus College's application for university status was approved, and Cyprus College graduates can continue there to a bachelor's or master's degree.

The college offers two-year and four-year programmes geared to the labour market. Its diploma and degree programmes are registered and evaluated by the Cyprus Agency of Quality Assurance and Accreditation in Higher Education (CYQAA). It also prepares students for the ACCA, ICAEW and CAT accounting exams.

  • Bachelor's degree in Aesthetics (Nicosia)
  • Diplomas in Business Administration, Office Administration and Internet Marketing and Social Media (Nicosia)
  • Diplomas for computer and network technicians and for electrical technicians (Nicosia)
  • Computer Science (Limassol)

Applicants need to have completed secondary education. English is not an admission requirement, but students on programmes taught in English take the college's English Placement Test unless they hold a recognised certificate such as IELTS 6.5. Housing help comes from the European University Cyprus housing office, which assists with university and off-campus accommodation and recommends residences near the campus.
