The University of Nicosia (UNIC) is the largest university in Cyprus, and the largest university in Southern Europe that teaches primarily in English, welcoming over 12,000 students from over 70 countries across the globe.
Located in Cyprus, a European Union member state, the University is committed to inclusive access to higher education, providing an equal-opportunity student centred system that extends its educational boundaries, from its modern campus hub in Nicosia, to the most remote places of the world.
Our state-of-the-art premises, and our innovative e-learning platform that provides access to extensive online learning resources, help foster a multicultural learning environment that promotes cooperation, friendship and understanding.
As an entrepreneurial digital university, we respond to, and shape the needs of, the knowledge-based society we live in. Both our core educational services (delivery of learning) and our administrative support operations employ advanced Information Communication Technology. We thus provide a fully digital educational environment that promotes teaching and learning innovation, inspired by technology and driven by pedagogy.
Teaching and learning is, therefore, the focus of our work, and our students are always at the centre of our attention. In line with this, we facilitate a student-centred learning environment that promotes active self-learning and imparts lifelong learning skills and competences to our students.
Our high quality and dynamic international teaching and research staff brings innovative knowledge into the classroom, emanating from significant European and locally-funded research projects, as well as through extensive collaborations with local and international industries. The U-Multirank university ranking system places us high in the clusters of Teaching/Learning; Internationalisation; and Engagement with Society.
Similarly, our University received the highest rating (5 QS Stars) by the QS Intelligence Unit in the fields of: Teaching; Facilities; Inclusiveness; Social Responsibility; Internationalisation; while also becoming the first university in the EU to be recognised with a 5-Star rating for Online/Distance Learning. In 2018, the University of Nicosia became the first university in Cyprus to be ranked by QS World University Rankings, achieving a place on the list of the top 100 universities in the Emerging Europe and Central Asia (EECA) Region. This is indeed an important milestone not only for our University but also for Cyprus Higher Education. It is also a strong testament to the quality of our faculty members, to the University’s continued focus on research and innovation, and to our growing international reputation. We are indeed very committed to conducting high quality basic, applied, and interdisciplinary research that will benefit society on a national and global scale.
