Student Testimonials

“Through the Erasmus program, I had the opportunity to participate in a traineeship program at a law firm in Greece for a period of four months. Practical training focused on Legal Science and more specifically on Criminal, Commercial and Civil Law.

My practice focused on learning legal texts after necessary research and help from my curator. I attended trials and participated in business appointments, provided secretarial support for complex cases, and learned how to archive and organize my time. This has led to enriching my knowledge and gaining professional experience that is one of the most valuable skills I could have.”

“I have been studying Business at European University Cyprus for three years. I enjoy my life here very much. Cyprus is a very safe and beautiful Mediterranean country. What’s more, I have joined the European exchange program, Erasmus, and went to Munich, Germany last year. This half-year experience in Germany as an exchange student taught me a lot, and opened up the world to me. I also received Erasmus funding for monthly living expenses. I really appreciate it that European University Cyprus has given me a precious opportunity like this.”

‘Motion Vibes’ an Innovative Education ProjectAn outstanding innovative program for hearing impaired students takes place only at European University Cyprus. “Motion Vibes” is a unique innovative project – the only one of its kind – through which hearing impaired students can add sound to the moving image.

The project was developed and implemented by Ms. Demetra Englezou, 3D Design and Animation Instructor with students’ contribution, as part of the activities of the Cultural Studies and Contempo-rary Arts Laboratory. The “Motion Vibes” is based entirely on the relationship between kinesiology and sound using vibrations. The students, using apps (applications) with a vibration output depending on the ripples of the music, can “feel” the sound and synchronize it to the moving image. The “Motion Vibes”: An Educational Project, was presented at the Conference Motion Design Education Summit in Dublin, December 2016.

There are a lot of things I like here. First of all, the professors are highly quali-fied and they are always there for me to help with any problem. Every student has an advisor, who advises you on any matter concerning courses and student life. The classrooms and laborato-ries are modern and well-equipped. There are

also different student clubs depending on each person’s interests such as the art and photogra-phy club. In the spacious cafeteria you can have a delicious lunch or just spend free time with your friends. The university is located in a convenient area of Nicosia, so everything that you could need is nearby. My student card allows me to get a discount in some shops, even out of Cyprus. I love Cyprus and studying here is a pleasure!’

The School of Business Administration is the oldest School at European University Cyprus. Today, gradu-ates of the School hold managerial positions in both the public and private sectors. It is the first school to establish the Start-Up Academy through Microsoft Innovation Center to promote innovation and start-up projects.

The development of the School’s programs of study has been consistent with the emergence of Cyprus as a center for services, which made managers trained in Management, Marketing and Hotel Management highly sought after. The School’s programs have been drawn up in parallel to the development of Economics both in Cyprus and internationally, in order to always meet the needs and demands of contemporary economy and soci-ety. The faculty’s high scientific stature reflects the quality of studies and rightly preserves the School of Business Administration of European University Cyprus in the international spotlight.

Graduates with a degree in Accounting may be exempted from 9 out of 14 courses of the ACCA (Association of Certified Chartered Accountants) and 12 out of 15 courses of the ICAEW (Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales).

The Business Studies program encompasses a wide range of subjects, enabling students to design a flexible program of study with up to three areas of concentration. The degree provides students with practical business skills in accounting, finance, human resource management, strategy, change-management, and quantitative and qualitative tools of analysis, as well as offering insight into different business sectors.

The Master of Business Administration offers a rigorous training across the field of management, including strategy, marketing, information manage-ment, leadership, team-building, innovation, human resources, finance, and change management. The program equips graduates to successfully perform in senior management positions and strengthens qualitative and quantitative analytical skills.

The School consists of the Department of Arts, Department of Education, Department of Humanities and Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences.

The Department of Arts offers a notable Music program, its faculty and students participating in the University’s Symphonic Band and/or Choir, well-liked contributors to Nicosia’s calendar of cultural events. Students may choose between Music Pedagogy or Music Performance courses, whilst Elective Courses span a wide range of topics, including jazz.

The International Motion Festival Cyprus organised by the School of Arts and Education Sciences received the EFFE Label for the second consecutive year. Following a thorough assessment process conducted by the relevant national authority of each country and then by the International Festival Jury, 761 festivals from 31 countries now belong in the first generation of festivals honored with the EFFE Label 2015-2016.

Graphic Arts teachers infuse their teaching methods with imagination, creativity and originality, training students to work with images and texts in graphic design companies, publishing houses or advertising firms. In a growing industry that involves a variety of different types of images for newspapers, periodicals or the TV, skilled graphic designers are highly sought after either as employees or self-employed professionals.

The Department of Arts has developed an innovative educational program, the Motion Vibes, which helps hearing impaired students to understand the emotional value of music. Motion vibes is based entirely on the relation between kinesiology and sound using vibrations which enables students to add sound in their animation graphics using images. The 3D and Animation instructor Ms Demetra Englezou who developed this project, presented it at the Motion Design Education Summit in Dublin.

Graduates of the English Literature and Linguistics program are qualified to seek employment in either public or private educational institutes as Teachers of English Language and Literature.

Scholars of the Psychology program cover a wide span of fields relevant to psychology, such as developmental difficulties, psychopathology, learning difficulties, counselling etc.

The scientific and teaching personnel of this particular discipline, just as that of the entire School, maintains active participation in research pertaining to the field’s requirements and objectives.

Furthermore KEPSYPA was established to provide psychological services (Prevention- Assessment-Therapy) to the community of European University Cyprus. The Center offers professional psychological services to all students and staff, free of charge. The School also hosts the Center for the Study of Childhood and Adolescence and the Euro-Mediterranean Research Center.

The Department of Education has seen a growing demand for Bachelor Degrees in Primary Education and Early Childhood Education, as well as for postgraduate programs in Special (Inclusive) Education and Education Leadership. The Department’s increased popularity is owed mostly to the high-level of teaching in combination with significant research work performed by the Department’s scientific personnel. Equally indicative of the high level of studies is the requirement for practical training.

The Department has been the first to introduce a doctoral degree in Education Sciences, with a focus on Special (Inclusive) Education or EducationLeadership.

The School of Law at European University Cyprus is the first and to this day the only fully-fledged Law School in Cyprus, accredited by The Cyprus Agency of Quality Assurance and Accreditation (DI.P.A.E.) and the Ministry of Education and Culture of the Republic of Cyprus.

The School’s Law Degrees are officially recognized by the Law Office of the Republic with the accreditation officially posted on the website of the Law Office of the Republic of Cyprus. Having amassed the required credit units for obtaining a degree, graduates of the Faculty of Law may submit their degree to the Law Office of the Republic and register as trainee lawyers with the Cyprus Bar Association.

The Department of Law is recognised - by a decision of DOATAP, the Hellenic National Academic Recognition Information Centre - as equivalent and corresponding to the Law Schools of Greek Universities and its degrees carry the full academic and professional rights as those of the degrees of Greek universities. Following approval of the equiv-alence by DOATAP, holders of a degree from the Department of Law of European University Cyprus may submit an application to the Trainee Register of the Greek Bar Association to be considered by the Assessment Committee (pursuant to Article 15 of L. 4254/2014).

Students of the Law department participate in Erasmus which refers to the mobility of students in universities of the EU member countries. The Law department has signed Erasmus mobility agree-ments with the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, the Democritus University of Thrace, the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and the Panteion University.

European University Cyprus has signed a mem-orandum of cooperation with the Law School of the University of Athens, Democritus University of Thrace, the European Public Law Organization and the Institute for Constitutional Studies of the Univer-sity of Athens.

As an indication of the School of Law’s widening regional reach and its growing prestige Greek President Prokopis Pavlopoulos in his official visit to Cyprus in March 2015 was awarded an honorary degree by European University Cyprus.

The School of Medicine

The establishment of the School of Medicine at European University Cyprus has been pivotal to the institution’s aims to be part of the country’s aspiration as a regional medical center.

Founded in collaboration with distinguished scholars from Cyprus and abroad the organization of the School of Medicine is based on EU directives and international health standards. It is accredited by The Cyprus Agency of Quality Assurance and Accreditation (DI.P.A.E.), approved by the Hellenic National Academic Recognition Information Center and listed in the International Medical Directory of FAIMER (Foundation for Advancement of International Medical Education and Research).

The School of Medicine serves as the regional ‘educational medical-platform’, providing high-caliber education in medicine and healthcare, targeting not only residents of Cyprus, but also international medical student candidates from Europe, Asia, the Americas, Africa and the Middle East.

European University Cyprus educational model aims at making future graduates able to function anywhere within the EU and other international health care systems.

Doctor of Medicine Program The medical graduate will be equipped with all the traditional traits and contemporary knowledge and advanced skills that rightfully come with the acquisition of a prestigious medical qualification conferred by an accredited EU university such as European University Cyprus.

The School of Medicine at European University Cyprus has an integrated system-based curriculum and employs a variety of approaches to its teaching-learning methods. These include lectures, problem-based learning, task-based learning, practical classes, independent learning, clinical skills sessions, virtual learning and clinical training with patient contact at public and private hospitals in Cyprus.

n Nobel Laureate (Chemistry 2009), Biochemist Ada Yonath is an Honorary Professor of the School of Medicine

3737

The School of Medicine is a dynamic learning environment, which enables students to develop the necessary skills and attributes required to practice medicine. The curriculum is skilled-based but students are exposed to clinical work and clinical relevance starting from the first year of study. This hands-on, practical approach is maintained throughout the six years of the course of study.

Teaching is conducted in English, with a minimum work load of 360 ECTS of the education and training required to complete the Bachelor of Medicine Degree over six years. No ‘premedical’ coursework is required as the program of study provides an all-inclusive, full basic sciences thematic unit.

The training of the students is oriented to the preparation of up-to-date, competent, ethical and fully adaptable medical doctors with the resourceful-ness necessary to face inevitable changes in the field that develop over time. It will focus on its students’ acquisition of the most efficient clinical skills and on the implementation of professional ethics in the field of medicine.

Students also have access to private and state-run hospitals throughout Cyprus and particularly the Larnaca General Hospital which serves as European University Cyprus’ Hospital.

Dentistry ProgramDentistry is a five-year program, leading to the Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS). Students are taught in state-of-the-art facilities equipped with the latest technology used in dental education. Teaching is conducted in English, with a minimum workload of 5,000 hours of theoretical and practical training, equivalent to 300 ECTS.

Our faculty is a dedicated team of high-caliber dental practitioners who share a common goal of graduating first-class dentists able to function anywhere within the EU and other international health care standards.

We believe in early clinical exposure and our privately owned dental clinic will give you the opportunity for patient interaction and clinical training as early as the first year of study.

The Dental Surgery program is based on the existing programs of European and North American dental schools with particular consideration on the “2009 Update of the Profile and Competences for the Graduating European Dentist”, which was approved by the Association of Dental Education in Europe (ADEE) on 28.08.2009.

The curriculum and training will provide graduates with a regognised qualification necessary for the practice of Dentistry as a general dental practitioner according to the EU-Directives 2005/36 and amendment 2013/55/EU.

38

The Unit was established in 2013 and has grown rapidly, offering easy access to education opportu-nities to a wide number of students or professionals who are not able to attend a face-to-face program/course, due to geographical, professional, family or other constraints. By responding to a growing social need for learning through alternative education programs, the Distance Education Unit helps promote equal opportunity in education. It counts students from numerous countries such as Austria, France, Germany, Greece, Luxembourg, Poland, Sweden, Russia, the UAE, the UK and the USA as well as many students from Cyprus.

In collaboration with the University’s Schools, the Distance Education Unit offers Bachelor and Master Degrees, in various disciplines, such as Education, Music Education, Psychology, Public Health, Public Administration, Counselling, Business Administration, Marketing Communication and Social Media, Information Systems and English Language and Literature. These programs are offered in Greek and/or English.

All the distance learning programs are fully accred-ited in Cyprus by the Ministry of Education and Culture and in Greece by the Hellenic NARIC.

They are taught by the highly qualified faculty of the European University Cyprus and external associates, specialists in their respective fields, with experience in Distance Education and using the most advanced Information and Communication technologies cur-rently available.

The Distance Learning Unit

Pedagogical ModelThe Distance Education Unit of European University Cyprus is determined, from a pedagogical perspec-tive, by a concrete model. Our main inspiration for the design and development of this model has been the Open University of Catalonia, the first 100% online university in the world, with which the Distance Education Unit of the EUC is constantly collaborating not only in research, but also at teaching level. Of course our pedagogical model is adapted to the needs, special characteristics and legislation of the Hellenic region (Greece and Cyprus), where distance education is still always

accompanied with face-to-face meetings between the tutors and the students, as well as with the existence of an obligatory (written) final examination. In this context, European University Cyprus has taken into consideration the fundamental functioning principles of the Hellenic Open University and the Open University of Cyprus, with which it collaborates in issues that concern the learning materials that will be used by the University’s distance learning stdents, as well as the creation and offer of Joint Degrees.
