Course information:

The range of subjects offered in English is limited. Please inquire with the International Relations Office of the University of Cyprus for current offers.

Accommodation:

Housing requests can be submitted to the university's Housing Office. However, the deadlines are very strict and priority is given to students who will study at the university for a full year.

Due to the limited availability of student housing, exchange students are advised to look for accommodation in the private sector. To help exchange students find housing, the Housing Office places an overview of available rooms in the private sector on its website every week.

"Before I left I didn't know much about Cyprus, but it is a very beautiful country with a very interesting history. A weekend at Golden Beach is definitely recommended! If you are there in January, there is even a chance that you can go skiing in the Troodos Mountains."
