Cyprus is one of the safest and most welcoming countries in the world and is rapidly emerging as a leading destination for high-quality higher education in Europe. Offering a wide range of English-taught degree programs, Cyprus attracts international students from more than 50 countries across the globe. 

Cyprus has the highest tertiary education participation rate in the European Union (54.6%), while over 80% of the population is bilingual in Greek and English. With superior student housing options, a comparatively low cost of living and affordable tuition fees, Cyprus is an economical study destination for international students. 

Combined with its Mediterranean lifestyle and more than 340 days of sunshine each year, the country offers an ideal balance between academic excellence, cultural diversity and exceptional quality of life. 

European University Cyprus applies clear and transparent admission criteria to identify motivated students with strong academic potential. Our Admissions team evaluates each application holistically, considering academic background, qualifications, and personal achievements. 

For undergraduate programs, applicants are required to have successfully completed secondary education, while admission to postgraduate programs requires a recognized bachelor’s degree or equivalent qualification. This ensures that students are placed in programs that match their academic background, strengths and career goals, supporting their progress and success throughout their studies.

EUC offers modern, affordable student accommodation located just minutes from campus. Our residences feature fully furnished studios and one-bedroom apartments, designed for comfort and convenience. Students benefit from shared social spaces, an in-house gym, laundry facilities and 24-hour security, creating a safe and supportive living environment within walking distance of the EUC campus.   

Student accommodation costs are generally more affordable in Cyprus compared to many other European study destinations.  While prices may vary depending on location, type of residence and demand, students can typically find a wide range of housing options to suit different budgets and preferences.  The EUC Housing Office maintains a list of private, off-campus apartments and houses for rent very close to campus.  

European University Cyprus provides a wide range of scholarships and financial aid opportunities to support students in achieving their academic ambitions. Our Scholarship and Financial Aid Program includes merit-based academic scholarships, athletic awards and family or need-based assistance.
