How to apply

The criteria for admission to European University Cyprus have been set to enable the Office of Admissions to select students who have the ability to do university-level work and to place students in courses and programs appropriate to their academic strengths, in an effort to help them successfully realize their full academic potential.

Our students come from many parts of the world and bring with them a wide range of academic skills, experiences, special interests, talents and cultural backgrounds. The Office of Admissions aims to form a student body which will give the opportunity to each student to share education and grow in experience as a member of an international community.

All applicants must have completed a secondary (high) school education or twelve years of schooling or the equivalent, to be considered for admission to undergraduate study, or hold a bachelor’s degree for post-graduate study.

Candidates who have successfully completed part of their studies at an accredited university may be exempted from respective courses in the program they attend at European University Cyprus, thus reducing the period of study to obtain their degrees. For the evaluation of transferred courses, candidates must submit a copy of their transcripts to the Office of Admissions.
