Why study in Cyprus?
A small country... a strategic location... a wealth of resources... a heart of gold.
The Republic of Cyprus lies at the crossroads of three continents, where East meets West and North meets South. The third most populous island in the Mediterranean, Cyprus is a dynamic business center and a fast-growing education destination. Cyprus joined the European Union on May 1st, 2004, and the Eurozone on January 1st, 2008. Its population is approximately 1.1 million, and it is a presidential republic.
Throughout the year, Cyprus hosts more than two million visitors from around the world to enjoy a holiday of cultural discovery, to attend educational and scientific meetings or to conduct business with a global impact. Cyprus has something for everyone: guaranteed sunshine, crystal clear seas, white-sandy beaches, world-class resorts, rugged mountain trails, culturally vibrant cities and idyllic villages. It also has a thriving services sector and a high-caliber healthcare industry, which is gaining prominence as a destination for medical tourism and medical care from around the region and beyond.
Cyprus enjoys a Mediterranean climate with long dry summers starting in mid-May, lasting until mid-October and quite mild winters from December to February. Spring and autumn are short, but each has its special characteristics in terms of natural beauty and traditional events.
European in culture and rich in history with a highly educated population and sophisticated infrastructure, Cyprus still retains its warm island charm with open, communicative people and a tradition of hospitality. Most Cypriots speak English, and other prominent languages, and proudly share their culture with visitors through traditional cuisine, customs and entertainment. Due to its low crime rate, high standard of living and thriving education sector, Cyprus is home to many foreign nationals. With this increasing multi-cultural make-up, Cyprus has become a hub for business cooperation among Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Africa and a center of excellence for an array of professional services in the fields of higher education, finance and medicine.
