About the university
Cyprus College was founded in 1961 and calls itself the oldest higher education institution in Cyprus. Its application for university status led to the founding of European University Cyprus (EUC) in September 2007, and the college's Nicosia campus sits on the EUC campus. A second campus opened in Limassol in September 2010.
The college teaches practical two-year diplomas (business administration, office administration, computer and network technician, electrical technician, internet or digital marketing and social media) and four-year bachelor's degrees in computer science, business administration and aesthetics. It also prepares students for professional accounting exams such as ACCA, ICAEW and CAT, and graduates can continue to a bachelor's or master's degree at EUC.
Indian students should note that the bachelor's degrees we checked are taught in Greek, with only some modules in English, and that fees are not published online. Confirm the teaching language and the fee for your programme before you apply.
