Its first students were admitted in 2007 while successfully offering, since then, all 3 levels of degrees i.e. BSc, MSc, PhD.

Career

Focusing on student concerns, quests, and dilemmas is fundamental for both our everyday operations and for our long-term strategy.

The aim is to achieve distinction on issues of student welfare and student life, overcoming established local standards and become competitive with modern, highly achieving university structures worldwide. 

Career services are important for our students because they:

  • Trigger reflection and search for professional pursuits that meet their needs and aspirations
  • Prepare students to effectively contest for quality jobs
  • Create networking opportunities with potential employers
  • Offer independent information about the labor market and further studies as well.

Student services

Campus life

Limassol (Lemesos) is located on the southern coast of Cyprus and is the island’s second largest city (population 180,000).  As Limassol sits between two important archaeological city-kingdoms; Amathus to the east, and Kourion to the west – it embodies both the ancient and modern worlds and serves as a thriving port & commercial center for its international community.  Renowned for its vibrant atmosphere which features a vast 15km coastal promenade, Limassol offers a wide variety of land and sea activities, an array of golf courses, and two marinas. It is also known for its lively Carnival celebrations, Annual Wine Festival and its surrounding picturesque villages and legendary Cypriot hospitality. 

Sports facilities

The sporting activities and wellness program is addressed to students but also to every member of the University community. Aimed at people who are accustomed to play sports, but also to those looking for cues to begin to play sports and get to know activities. Our goal every year is to encourage more students and staff to "peel off" from a sedentary lifestyle.

Student clubs

  • There are student clubs at the University that cover a wide range of interests in culture, arts, music, dance, sports and entertainment. The ability of students’ engagement in extra-university interests offers rich experiences and unforgettable memories.
  • The Clubs are established upon students’ initiative and consist of students only. A prerequisite for the establishment of a student club is the submission of a statute to the Academic Affairs and Student Welfare Service and the approval of the Club’s aims and activities by the University authorities.
