EU citizens pay no tuition for bachelor's degrees at public universities – at the University of Cyprus the state covers the €3,417-a-year fee, while students from outside the EU pay €6,834 a year. Cyprus has 3 public and 9 private universities, and many institutions, especially private ones, teach whole programmes in English. Discover how admission works, where to live and where students find casual jobs.
Cypriot school leavers take national exams (Pancyprian Examinations) – places at public universities are allocated on the basis of the results.
At the University of Cyprus, international applicants can take exams set by the university or submit the results of international exams. Private universities usually don't hold a central exam – what counts are your documents and the programme's requirements.
