The necessity for the creation of a BSc in Digital Business is based on the fact that in most business sectors, such as banks, retail, hotels, music and bookings, products, services, and marketing have become increasingly digital. This digital revolution has transformed the very nature of these industries and the way businesses are competing and advertising, but also the way they price their products. Future executives and managers should understand both the economics, business practices and core elements of the underlying technology.

The BSc in Digital Business aims to provide a gateway for students who have a “globally entrepreneurial mindset” for international careers in 21st century digitised businesses. This unique programme will be one of the few in the world in which students will focus on learning how to manage digital systems and how to use these systems to make data-based decisions, to guide complex and diverse teams in digital projects and finally, how to recruit new talent. More specifically, the Bachelor in Digital Business aims to:

  • Provide theoretical and practical knowledge towards enabling students to manage digital businesses and operate in the contemporary digital environment.
  • Introduce students to the importance of digital marketing for digital businesses and enable them to use digital marketing tools for building a marketing strategy.
  • Develop knowledge in using new technologies, software, web applications and digital communication networks.
  • Provide an understanding of the digital transformation of business and how the contemporary political, economic and social context impart digital businesses.
  • Provide knowledge in research methods and techniques useful to develop research projects and independent study.
  • Present and explain the principles of business management, global entrepreneurship, finance and accounting, equipping students with skills for working in digital business or creating and running their own digital business.
  • Explain the risks related to cybersecurity and provide knowledge on how they can operate in a safe and secure manner.
  • Develop students’ professional skills and ethical behaviour while enabling them to work in groups effectively, respecting diversity, communicating clearly with others, developing self-management, and providing solutions to real-life problems.

The Programme in Architecture offers a Bachelor’s Degree after four years of full-time studies (240 ECTS) and the Integrated Master in Architecture after five years of full-time studies (300 ECTS).

The Programme in Architecture acknowledges the significant social role and responsibility of architectural practice for the study and development of space, both public and private. In this respect, each student is considered as a distinct personality, freely open to a system of values and abilities, concerning their aesthetic development, imagination, intuition, ethos and consistency. At the same time it provokes and activates students’ involvement and continuous participation in a reflective process that transforms their thinking, and incorporates a critical approach in their creative evolution. Furthermore, it explores and utilises the heterogeneity of its highly qualified teaching faculty, as an educational tool, in order to formulate and establish a wide field of multiple approaches to architecture. Through systematic research in all aspects of architecture, and within the overall framework of university education, it combines the broader humanistic values, with the development of the necessary theoretical and technical skills for the professional life of its students.

Methodologically, the Programme explores architectural design by systematically promoting a teaching system, adaptable to the characteristics and interests of each individual student. This essentially experimental process equipes students with both a unique comprehension of architecture, as well as the necessary means and skills of personal expression both during their studies, and upon their graduation.

Far from being a static system, the Programme in Architecture, is a dynamic framework, open to the internationally developing architectural dialogue. By addressing both the local and global substance of Architecture, it aspires to act as an intellectual and cultural hub for the city of Pafos, building on the one hand on its own organization and activities, as well as by developing strong synergies with the city, its people and its institutions. At the same time, it gradually, but systematically, establishes connections with its wider context in Cyprus, the Mediterranean, and globally, through student and teacher exchanges, research programmes, exhibitions, workshops and conferences, but also through the thematics of its courses.

CAREER PROSPECTS

The Bachelor and Integrated Master in Architecture fulfil the academic and professional requirements set by, a) The EU Directive 85/384/EC for architects and the new Directive 2005/36/EC about the recognition of the Professional Qualifications (which is a law of the EU and binds its members since 2007). b) The recommendations of UIA (Union International of Architects) about the skills architects must have to practice as architects. c) The local market of Cyprus and the conditions of accession to the profession as they are indicated by the Technical Chamber of Cyprus.

Based on the above referred institutional regulations, the Programme offers a Bachelor of Architecture after four years of study, and an  Integrated Master  in Architecture, after an additional year of study. The Bachelor of Architecture degree does not lead to professional accreditation. To get that, students need to complete an Integrated Master in Architecture degree, after one more year of studies in order to become eligible for professional accreditation.

Upon completion of the 5-year programme, graduates of Architecture must acquire a minimum one year of professional practice and fulfil the requirements set by the Cyprus Technical Chamber in order to become registered architects in Cyprus with full professional accreditation.

Like all English Law degrees, the programme includes the seven main subjects of the foundations of legal knowledge, namely Contract Law, Tort Law, Criminal Law, Equity and Trusts, Land Law, EU Law and Public Law. The programme aims to enable you to develop a critical awareness of the common law legal tradition and to apply problem-solving skills to a range of legal and non-legal settings. During your studies you will establish the building blocks of legal knowledge whilst, in parallel, you will cultivate important skills such as research, resourcefulness, writing, constructing a reasoned argument and independence. The objective of our LLB English Law is not, simply, to require you to memorise the law but to teach you to engage with the law skilfully. Therefore, you will learn transferable skills which can be applied in any country and in any career route you decide to follow.

The programme is designed to help you stand out with employers, whatever your career goals. It offers you flexibility in what you study as it combines a number of compulsory and elective subjects which enable you to tailor your degree to your interests and career ambitions. Our degree gives you the opportunity not only to study English Law subjects but additionally to study the international context of law. Our elective courses include traditional legal subjects (such as International Environmental Law, Family Law, Employment Law and International Protection of Human Rights) as well as non-legal subjects and languages. During your time at Neapolis, you will also have many opportunities to build your skills, confidence and professional CV through a range of extra-curricular activities.

Career Prospects

Our LLB English Law graduates will be able to find employment in a diverse range of roles, both inside and outside the legal profession: they will be able to work as in-house lawyers for companies, barristers, solicitors, paralegals, legal executives, teachers, legal academics, civil servants, business directors, managers, politicians, journalists and media professionals and in international organisations.

With our LLB English Law you will be able to qualify as a lawyer and ultimately go into legal practice in any country which has a common law system. In order to do so, though, as is the case with every Law degree, you will need to also complete the vocational training process of the relevant country.

The course, unique to Cyprus, blends the English legal heritage with current English and Cyprus law. For the benefit of our local students, education on the two systems is combined within the modules and, in those instances where the law is very different, separate Cyprus law modules are provided. Thus, our local students will graduate not only with an outstanding knowledge of both English and Cyprus law, but also have knowledge of all legal terminology in both English and Greek, besides fluency in both languages – essential in an ever more globalised world. It is important to note that the course has been designed in such a way so that students can avoid if they want all instruction in Cyprus law, be taught entirely in the English language and follow a regular UK LLB curriculum. Like with any other UK LLB degree, the seven foundations of legal knowledge (Criminal Law, Equity and Trusts, Law of the European Union, Contract, Tort, Land Law and Public Law) are compulsory for all.

The theory of law is well represented at various levels, charting 2,500 years of legal philosophy, teasing out the classical foundations of modern law, including through Latin legal terminology and a deep explanation of common law principles. At the same time the LLB at UCLan Cyprus is extremely modern and skilful, placing strong emphasis at various levels on English laws, skills and practices of commercial contracts and companies which rule today’s global business world.

The compulsory module European Union Law is supplemented at various levels, including with EU Single Market Law for those wishing to acquire detailed knowledge of the single market and the regulation of anti-competitive conduct in the EU. International Law is well served with modules in both Public International and Private International Law. In addition, human rights modules examine not only the European and International, but also the municipal legal architecture in the area of human rights as well as its applications in other fields such as Public Law, Criminal Law, Family Law, Employment Law or Medicine and the Law. Finally, conscious of Cyprus’ continued international outlook and the increasing transnationalisation and modernisation of legal relations, modules are offered in Comparative Law, Consumer Law, Commercial Law, Business law and Company Law at various levels of the curriculum.

The LLB at UCLan Cyprus is the only Law degree on the island validated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority and Bar Standards Board of England and Wales. Exclusive in Cyprus, LLB graduates from UCLan Cyprus shall obtain the same qualifying law degree, with identical rights, privileges and entitlements, as any LLB graduate from an English or Welsh university. As a result, our graduates will have the opportunity to sit their professional law exams in London, for instance, without having to return to university in order to obtain a qualifying law degree first. During these challenging economic times, globally, it is important to know that a UK qualifying law degree is accepted by (law) professional bodies in a number of different countries around the world, including Cyprus and other countries of the Commonwealth.

Additionally, the LLB has also been recognised as a qualifying law degree by the Cyprus Legal Council.

The Accounting and Finance program aims to provide high quality education and training in the functional disciplines of accounting and finance. In formulating the program, consideration was given to the possibility of earning exemptions from British Professional Chartered Accountancy bodies, given that accountancy qualifications are primarily designed to help the business community meet its obligations for keeping accurate accounting records and for taking sound financial decisions.

The program took cognizance of the fact that academic courses offered at the University should prepare students to meet the practical needs of industry and the profession. In particular, the Accounting and Finance program aims to help the students to develop an understanding of the concepts and analytical skills to study, report, and analyze business activities effectively, through offering a curriculum that maps to the Cyprus Agency of Quality Assurance and Accreditation in Higher Education (CYQAA) academic benchmarks and yet satisfies the accreditation requirements of the ICAEW, ACCA, CIMA, AIA, the CPA, Australia and the CPA, Ireland, for examination and exemption purposes.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

Upon successful completion of the Accounting and Finance program, graduates will be able to:

  • Prepare and analyse financial and management accounts, statements and reports, and give appropriate advice;
  • Demonstrate an understanding of the constraints on accountants and managers imposed by economics and legal factors;
  • Prepare tax computations and give advice on personal and corporate tax issues;
  • Apply financial management theory and techniques and give appropriate advice on financing, investment and distribution;
  • Communicate and apply knowledge and understanding of the principles of business information systems management at an appropriate level;
  • Apply the principles of internal and external auditing in relation to financial review, control, accountability, and assurance.

The blend of specific accounting and finance modules with a wider understanding of business gives the graduates both a strong foundation in the subjects and an application of how accounting and finance are applied in real–worth business situations.

Graduates with accounting and finance skills are in constant demand around the world, with graduates going on to gain employment in a wide range of companies, from professional accountancy firms to large multinational operations. With a high level of professional exemptions from accredited British Accountancy Bodies, ICAEW, ACCA, CIMA, AIA, the CPA, Australia and the CPA, Ireland, this challenging course will help holders of the BA (Hons) degree to become qualified accountants, start work in a finance-related career or to proceed to higher degrees/research.

University of Cyprus Department of English Studies BA in English Language and Literature 8 semesters Campus based 1. Anglophone Literature & Cultural Studies Track, 2. Theoretical & Applied Linguistics Τrack, 3.Translation Studies Track

The new structure of the BA in English consists of the following three different tracks within the same Programme. The tracks are areas of specialization within the same degree and have been designed in order to create a flexible, more diverse degree and to provide students with the opportunity to focus on specific areas of interest during their studies. Click on one of them to see the respective curriculum in detail:

Anglophone Literature & Cultural Studies Track

Theoretical & Applied Linguistics Τrack

Translation Studies Track

In particular, the courses in the first two semesters (1st year of studies) – and some courses in later semesters – are common for all three tracks. At the beginning of the 2nd year of studies (3rd semester) students must opt for one of the three tracks offered by the respective Sections. The tracks may overlap at various points, thus students are given the opportunity to customise their programme of studies in their 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years by choosing compulsory and elective courses from any of the three tracks. The choice of track must be finalised by the 5th semester of studies the latest.

According to the new structure of the BA in English students must fulfil the following requirements:

17 compulsory courses in the 1st and 2nd year

16 compulsory and elective courses in the 3rd and 4th year
3 levels of a Foreign Language courses (other than English), offered by the Language Center. Students may choose to prepare a final thesis in place of 2 electives in their 4th year of studies.

4 University elective courses (from at least three different Schools of the University of Cyprus)

As university elective courses, students may opt for a foreign language, other than the one they have chosen as part of their compulsory three-level language component (see above). If they decide to do so, they may take either one or two levels of the same language, which will count as one or two university electives respectively. They do not have the option of two languages at the first level, though.

The BA Fashion and Image Design program is designed for students who intend to have a career in fashion design and other design related careers in the fashion area.
Within this program Fashion Design is seen as a highly creative operation, reflecting a trained aesthetic sense and requiring a number of techniques and specific skills for effective expression. The fashion design and image program involves specialist commercial and marketing expertise with a professional approach. The ability to communicate effectively in a world-wide fashion area has become very important as the fashion business develops and operates on an international scale.

The program is designed to enrich and develop students’ individual potential. It is designed to help students to develop their abilities to identify problems and be able to solve them within the fashion area. Furthermore, the program equips students with the ability of understanding the national and international fashion business and meets fully the challenges of modern fashion industry.

It is expected that all students of the program will develop skills and abilities to communicate well, to work both independently and in group situations, to relate their studies to their chosen fashion area and to develop self- motivated responsibility for their actions.

The program provides technical foundation and a broad design education to meet the ever changing demands of the Fashion industry. Within the scope of these two areas the program aims to embody the student with expressive design and technical skills, broaden their communicative and intellectual awareness as well as their conceptual thinking. The students are therefore introduced to fashion technical skills through the courses of Pattern Cutting and Garment Making, the basic synthesis between garment and fabric. Within the course the understanding and proper use of pattern cutting and sewing equipment is developed which in turn assist students in the translation of basic designs into three-dimensional made up garments.

With in the elective courses of Menswear and Tailoring and Professional Pattern Cutting and Garment Making, more intricate skills are developed through experimental and creative pattern cutting and sewing techniques. The opportunity to interact and develop skills and a profound understanding of intricate pattern and sewing techniques helps in developing the necessary knowledge and skills for making up of a final fashion collection.

These fundamental technical courses will enable students to work in a professional manner, hence planning and organizing future fashion collections as well as acquiring good technical communication skills in order to communicate effectively with future design teams.

In conjunction with above technical courses students will also be introduced to art and design courses such as Introduction to Studio Art, Drawing, and Design and Materials. Here students will build upon their drawing skills as well as their knowledge and use of various materials through specific project work. These courses lay foundations for initial development through the establishment of good drawing skills and three dimensional forms.

To assist students in developing a historical and cultural awareness, which is crucial for such a design course, the program offers the course of History of Art / Cultural Studies and History of Fashion Design. This will provide students with an in-depth understanding of how sociopolitical and economic situations affect and influence fashion.

The program has been strategically structured to initially introduce students within the first semesters to the fashion industry and the basics of their future profession. In the following semesters the courses offered will develop students’ expertise in the fashion field with continuous experimentation and exploration in design, image and styling through Fashion Design Practice, Styling and Image Making, Fashion Photography and Design for Performance. The program offers alternative pathways through semesters 3- 8 for students whose special interests and future ambitions lie in the fields of the fashion media and fashion styling. The program strongly involves the use of image and styling. It looks at the diversity of ways that fashion and clothing can be communicated, promoted and presented creatively to different audiences, whether this be through photography, film, digital media, performance, music, advertising and journalism.

In the final year students are expected to establish a strong personal identity in their work one which should be reflected in their major collection project. The Major Collection Projects will enable students to design and execute a fashion design project, which will demonstrate extensive, detailed and critical understanding, initiative, innovation and creative originality. Students will develop a professional approach to their work enabling them to plan, organize fashion collections of high quality.

The program places a great importance on innovative research; hence in the final semester all students must complete a senior project, which is regarded as their thesis. It is a course where students act as individual designers in an investigation of a topic of their own choice. The course can be of any nature/ idea/ concept. The ultimate scope is to conduct an extensive research into the course and prepare an extended essay from the research findings and analysis. The course requires the student to initialise a written brief as well as produce final design solutions and a written thesis. The emphasis is on innovation and variety where topics can cross boundaries in both inter-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary guises.

Students will be introduced to a variety of subjects and media through the art and design electives, such as Illustration Techniques, Fashion Illustration Techniques, Photographic Design and Computer – Aided Pattern Design and many more, which help in the development of knowledge and skills that foster a greater understanding of the fashion field.

The vision of the BA Fashion and Image program is to create the new designers of tomorrow. Designers, which will help create a new identity for fashion design in Cyprus. An identity which no longer includes just fashion design and production but a wider scope which now includes such areas as theatre, film, fashion photography, digital media, advertising, journalism and many more. The program intends to create designers who will be able to work in a multi-disciplinary design environment. It will offer alternative pathways, which will provide students with the necessary knowledge and skills that will help them create, communicate, promote and present fashion creatively to different audiences. Designers, which will be able to design and execute fashion projects that will demonstrate detailed and critical understanding, initiative, innovation and creative originality.

The specific goals of the program are:

  • to prepare students for a career in the sphere of creative fashion and associated design influenced careers;
  • to educate students to an advanced level of individual creativity within the discipline of fashion design;
  • to encourage independent research and problem solving in the fashion design process;

Specialization:

  1. Graphics and Digital Media
  2. Film Making and Digital Media

The significant diversification and sophistication of communication practices and the rapid advancement of communication technologies, create new challenges and needs while working in the field of Visual Communication. In the ever-changing and versatile area of visual culture, communication and digital media have become integral parameters of contemporary modes utilized to convey information, promotion or entertainment. The highly competitive and cutting-edge Visual Communication industries require more so than ever multi-tasking, digital savvy and diverse individuals seeking a successful professional career in the field. The emergence of social media and online or other digital platforms create new opportunities as well as challenges for professionals and academics working in the field of Visual Communication.

The Visual Communication program of study proposes an innovative and all-rounded approach, taking into account current debates, design and film practice developments and digital advancements. The program offers two specializations: a) Graphic Design and Digital Media, b) Film Making and Digital Media. Operating in the current conditions of constant flux, the program provides comprehensive and versatile conceptualization of the field and acute awareness of the current or anticipated developments in contemporary Graphic Design, Film and Digital Media areas.

Developed and enriched creatively over decades, the Visual Communication program established a long tradition and has played a significant role in the promotion, advancement and education in the field of visual communication in Cyprus. Offering systematic social and cultural contribution, the program has been in alignment with the Universities’ mission and its main objectives as a leading agent in the relevant fields, producing and disseminating new knowledge through a variety of innovative projects, activities and academic production in the fields of arts and design. Through its manifold collaborations and liaisons, the program has gained the respected and support of relevant professional bodies, cultural institutions and governmental agents and is in constant and close collaboration with the industry. Over the years the program’s students and faculty participate and volunteer systematically in local and international real-life projects, competitions and research projects, establishing a dynamic connection with the current state of affairs and enforcing active participation in the dissemination of social awareness. Indicative of its long history, tradition and liaisons with the industry is that the program’s graduates occupy a large percentage of the active professional posts in the fields and are highly sought after upon graduation.

Given that Visual Communication and Digital Media is an ever-changing field, greatly influenced by current cultural trends, economic and technological developments, the program gives strong emphasis in providing sustainable education where students are enabled to learn how to teach themselves and acquire the ability to constantly gain knowledge over time.

In its content the program aims to enable students to gain a comprehensive and versatile conceptualisation of the field and to acquire a variety of theoretical and visual research skills, necessary for the development of critical thinking, innovation and confidence. The program focuses on the development of students’ visual intelligence, literacy and competence in order to become flexible and lateral in their approach in solving challenging Visual Communication tasks. Approaching the fields of cultural studies, semiology, history of art and design, the program offers a large number of studio courses (i.e. Visual Communication, Film and Video Production, Motion Graphics and Animation Techniques, Graphic and Advertising Design, Moving Image, Design for Branding, Sound Design for Film and TV, Film Directing etc.) which introduce practice-based, real-life or self-initiated projects. Students gradually develop an all-rounded understanding and experience of the creative process, such as brief analysis/development, visual research and experimentation, audience identification, design/film development, interpretation methods, concept analysis/development, trial and error, prototype/mock-up production, testing etc. Further, through the cultivation, application and dissemination of relevant knowledge, students are also made aware of theoretical debates regarding social awareness and cultural responsibility in the context of visual communication in an effort to develop social sensibilities and understanding towards issues of gender, race, the environment etc.

Through the various teaching strategies invested in the program students also develop autonomy, personal initiative and leadership skills so as to be able to work effectively on their own as free-lance professionals or as part of teams in professional agencies, institutions and other bodies. In doing so great attention is paid to the production of a diverse digital portfolio showcasing a wide selection of final projects, enabling graduates to pursue professional posts straight out of the University.

Over the four-year duration of the program, students are ensured continuity of learning and course discipline integrity. The program’s main objectives are to:

  • cultivate Visual Intelligence by providing the opportunity for intellectual, conceptual and creative development in order to analyse, handle and solve a wide range of projects
  • promote Visual Literacy by providing the opportunity for aesthetic, analytical and critical development in order to research, understand and articulate ideas in visual communication
  • enhance Visual Competency by providing the opportunity for the acquisition of traditional and alternative skills -in print, motion and digital formats-, in orded to execute and produce relevant design tasks
  • promote Visual Diversity by providing the opportunity for familiarisation with various visual methods and gaining ease for constant adaptation in new formats and modes of production demanded by the marketplace

Occupational Profiles of Graduates with Examples

Recent studies and forecasts on employability are consistent to those published in previous years and foresee a high demand of skilled digital technology experts and ICT professionals.  We site below some highlights of related published forecasts.

  • The European Commission’s Grand Coalition for Digital Jobs (a multi-stakeholder partnership) has been assembled “to tackle the lack of digital skills in Europe and the thousands of unfilled ICT-related vacancies across all industry sectors”. Although millions of Europeans are currently without a job, companies struggle to find skilled digital technology experts. It is estimated that there will be 6 million unfilled vacancies for ICT professionals by 2030 [1]. As Richard Bruton, the Minister for Jobs Enterprise and Innovation in Ireland, stated in his speech at the conference “Filling the gaps: e-Skills & Education for Digital Jobs Conference”: “Even during the recession, employment increased in the ICT sector and is forecast to continue to increase over the coming years due to the worldwide exponential growth in demand for next generation internet, mobile ICT, social networking and information security technologies.” [2].
  • At the same time, in the United States, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, estimates that “employment of computer and information technology occupations is projected to grow 11 percent from 2019 to 2029, faster than the average for all occupations. These occupations are expected to add about 531,200 new jobs [3]. Moreover, “employment of information security analysts is projected to grow 32% percent from 2018 to 2028, much faster than the average for all occupations. Demand for information security analysts is expected to be very high, as these analysts will be needed to create innovative solutions to prevent hackers from stealing critical information or causing problems for computer networks.” [4].

Local market employability is also reinforced by the registration of the CS program graduates with the Cyprus Scientific and Technical Chamber (ETEK) which furnishes them with a license to practice the CS profession.

  2. To provide a conceptual framework of dance as reception, applied (kinaesthetic), and creative process which will enable students to appraise and appreciate the wide operative range of the field
  3. To equip students with the knowledge, the technical skills and artistic competencies (kinaesthetic/physical, spatial, creative, perceptual), which would enable them to enter the market as versatile professionals
  4. To provide students with the knowledge and skills with which to conduct in-depth inquiries and research in fields of dance, relating dance to social, cultural and political events, past and current
  5. To prepare students for a realistic career prospect in dance performance (contemporary dance based), dance composition/choreography, dance theory and research, dance history (including a cultural approach to dance), movement analysis, dance education, and ensemble directing
  6. To prepare students for postgraduate study in various areas of dance.

Career Prospects

The art of dance is unique in that its primary medium is the body itself. In conjunction with the creative and analytical mind, movement can be an active, transformative prism in any aspect of life. This characteristic has, since antiquity, rendered dance an immediate and basic way for people to communicate, celebrate, express emotions, reach the divine, experience freedom and catharsis, or simply partake in the joy of movement.

For many of these reasons dance remains a prominent part of modern, and, in turn, Cypriot society. Yet, like all the arts, dance is characterised by the changes, trends and challenges that reflect modernity. Residing in a number of social contexts and bearing specific functions within each, from contemporary and abstract art, to commercial advertising, to popular culture, to traditional practices and to entertainment – dance offers a broad realm of creative and professional opportunities. Not-for-profit dance organisations, dance troupes, contemporary dance, ballet and traditional dance festivals, and dance education programmes are on the rise in Cyprus and in Europe, receiving both public and private funding. On the other hand, more mainstream and commercial dance (in conjunction with pop music, video and social/club dancing) is a fast-growing area of business both nationally and internationally.

Professionally, the contemporary conditions regarding dance mentioned above are an advantage.

Due to the current diverse nature of the field of dance, its stark popularity and its rapidly evolving character locally, regionally, and internationally, there is a need for competent graduates trained for technical proficiency, innovation and versatility. Career opportunities for such graduates include performing, teaching, choreographing, arts management, arts/dance education programme and policy writing, dance writing and criticism and academia. More specifically, employment can be found in sectors such as primary and secondary education, tertiary education, private arts, public arts administration, and non-profit organisations. Finally, the unexplored areas in the field, waiting to be discovered and developed, undoubtedly provide exciting, promising prospects for the young dance performer, artist and educator.

Access to Further Studies

Graduates of the programme can be accepted into Second Cycle degrees (Master’s Degree).

University of Nicosia Medical School Medicine (MD, Undergraduate Entry) 6 years Campus based

The programme is structured around 12 academic semesters over a period of 6 years. In each semester students are required to take 30 ECTS credits, completing 360 ECTS credits after 12 semesters of full-time tuition.

Years 1-3 (Basic Medical Sciences)

During Years 1-3 students gain knowledge in the basic medical sciences: general chemistry, organic chemistry, physics, biology, anatomy, histology, biochemistry, physiology, genetics, microbiology and virology, immunology, pharmacology, medical genetics, general pathology, medical sociology, medical psychology, medical ethics, research methods in medicine and essential medical statistics.

Students also take courses in integrated clinical practice where they develop the important clinical and communications skills required for medicine. Under supervision, students will have the opportunity to meet selected patients in local hospitals and clinics to practise these basic skills.

Year 4 (Integrated Studies – Basic and Clinical Sciences)

Year 4 represents a transition year from preclinical studies to clinical studies.

During Year 4 students take courses in haematology, systematic pharmacology, epidemiology and public health, and clinical pathophysiology. They also carry out a research project.

In the second semester the students take a course in integrated clinical practice in which they build on the clinical and communication skills they developed during the previous years. The students will visit local hospitals, clinics and the community to further practise the skills they have learnt and gain first-hand experience of how medicine is practised in these settings. Students take part in clinical attachments in medicine, surgery and primary care.

Years 5-6 (Clinical Studies)

The objectives of Years 5 and 6 are to provide students with extensive experience in the clinical environment, mainly in hospitals but also in the community, so that they can utilise their learning over the previous 4 years to practise their clinical, communication, diagnostic and reasoning skills on real patients, and to learn about the management of patients, from a medical, therapeutic, surgical, psychosocial and caring perspective.

Students take part in clinical attachments in Cardiology, Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery, Respiratory Medicine, Thoracic Surgery and Breast Surgery, Gastroenterology and GI Surgery, Nephrology, Urology and Transplant Surgery, Rheumatology and Dermatology/Plastic Surgery, Neurology, Neurosurgery and Palliative Care, Psychiatry, Paediatrics, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Internal Medicine, General Surgery, Emergency Medicine and Intensive Care, Orthopaedics, Otorhinolaryngology & Ophthalmology, Therapeutics and Prescribing, General Practice and Geriatric Medicine.

Students also do a Clinical Attachment Elective, spending six weeks on a chosen activity or medical specialty of their choice. Students are encouraged to broaden their experiences by undertaking their elective in a different environment. This includes the option of going abroad for their elective.

Students remaining in Cyprus for clinical training will need an appropriate knowledge of Greek so that they can better communicate with patients. The Medical School provides free Greek-language lessons during the first 4 years of the course to prepare students for this requirement.

Our BMus degree provides our students with four categories of professional skills, all of which are necessary for a successful career in any area of music.

  1. Core practical and theoretical skills for the professional musician.
    • The first two years of the degree revolve around each student’s Primary Study (or principle instrument), which includes 4 hours of weekly instruction: 1 hour individual instruction, 1 hour group instruction, and 2 hours of ensemble instruction. Parallel to this intensive study on their primary instruments, our students receive professional training in keyboard and aural skills, harmony and theory, music history, and choral singing.
  2. A specialised qualification in a particular area of music.
  3. During their final two years of study, our students must complete seven courses in one of the four following concentrations:
    • Classical Performance: this consists of two more years of Advanced Primary Study, as well as courses in performance practice, analysis, and composition.
    • Jazz Performance: this also consists of two more years of Advanced Primary Study, along with courses in applied jazz harmony, improvisation, and jazz composition.
    • Music Education: students in this course gain practical and theoretical knowledge of various methodologies for teaching music to children, including actual teaching experience in local schools.
    • Creative Music Technology: this concentration trains students to compose and create new musical works with the aid of the latest advances in computers and music technology.
  4. Flexibility to develop one’s individual interests and talents.
  5. In addition to the seven courses in their concentration, music students also take an additional five courses in any area of music they wish, making the program highly adaptive to each student’s individual needs and interests.
  6. A well-rounded general education that prepares students to succeed in a variety of professional contexts.

All music students take between six and eight courses in the area of general studies. General education courses improve the students’ vitally important skills in written and oral communication, and develop the students’ sense of the interconnectedness of their musical training to other professional and academic fields. The choice of general education courses is largely up to the individual student.

Career Prospects

On successful completion of the programme, graduates will be able to pursue a variety of professional musical activities and/or continue their studies a the post-graduate level.

Potential employment opportunities include:

    • Performing musician
    • Studio music instructor
    • Public or private school music teacher
    • Music and arts-related administration, including entrepreneurial careers.

Access to Further Studies

Upon graduation, students may have direct access to further postgraduate (MA or MMus) studies.

UNIC Pharmacy Program is dedicated to the education of pharmacy scientists who can deliver high-quality, evidence based, interprofessional, patient-centered pharmaceutical care and advance the public health services.

The Pharmacy Program strives to be recognized as a national leader in educating Pharmacists and is known for its academic excellence and leadership. The programs’ graduates will be highly visible locally and nationally and engaged in advancing the profession of pharmacy.

In particular, Pharmacy Program aims to:

  • educate future pharmacists and researchers
  • be an incubator of future leaders in transforming the pharmacy profession
  • be recognised nationally and internationally as a leader in improving medication outcomes and pharmacy practice research and education.
  • establish relationships with key individuals and organisations to improve the quality use of medicines and health outcomes.
  • provide quality research and education that can add to the quality of life of members of the community.
  • attract strong candidates
  • contribute to the advancement of the profession of pharmacy through advanced pharmacy practice, organizational involvement, and in select career paths, provide scholarly contributions to the profession.
  • achieve excellence in didactic, experiential education as evidenced by our students’ proficiency in translating basic science knowledge into clinical applications and in providing comprehensive pharmacist-delivered patient-centered care
  • be consistently ranked among the top schools of pharmacy
  • share expertise with the pharmaceutical and health-care industries and contribute to local and international professional or scientific organizations and committees.
  • demonstrate a high level of understanding in all disciplines including pharmaceutical technology, pharmacognosy, pharmacology, toxicology, medicinal chemistry, physics, and practice-based calculations (numeracy evaluation) relevant to pharmaceutical sciences, pharmacokinetics, therapeutics, pharmacy practice, public health, and social aspects of pharmacy.

Career and Employability Prospects

Pharmacists in the EU are one of the six professions granted automatic recognition of qualifications under the Directive on the Recognition of Professional Qualifications [Directive 2013/55/EU]. No other health professionals have so much of their education devoted to medicinal products. On the other hand community pharmacist is recognised as a primary health care services provider.

As public and international interest on medicinal products and primary care grows rapidly, career opportunities for drug and healthcare products experts are expanding every year.

Pharmacists are highly trained professionals who participate in the R&D process, prepare and dispense medication to customers and patients.

The programme provides pharmacy students and graduates with a sound and balanced grounding in the natural, pharmaceutical and healthcare sciences that provide the essential foundation for pharmacy practice in a multi-professional healthcare delivery environment.

Pharmacists provide their services in a variety of settings in response to a dynamic and evolving set of primarily local health care priorities and needs.

There are five major sectors of employment:

  1. Community Pharmacy
  2. Hospital Pharmacy
  3. Primary Care Pharmacy
  4. Industrial Pharmacy & Regulatory Affairs
  5. Research and Development

Access to Further Studies

Graduates of the programme can be accepted into Third Cycle degrees (Doctoral Degree)
