Universities in Cyprus

Cyprus is one of the most beautiful islands in Mediterranean. It offers sunshine packed beaches as well as stunning mountain ranges and pine forests. There are 3 public and 5 private universities and also many institutions of higher education, none of which carries university status. In Cyprus, 45.8% of people have completed tertiary studies. For EU citizens, universities are free or charge only low fees what supports very affordable living conditions and makes more and more students to come and be part of Cypriot academic system. However international students coming from outside of EU are unfortunately entitled to pay annual tuitions. There is possibility to get financial help and grants from ERASMUS and there are also some school providing scholarships on the basis of academic or other criteria.
