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:

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. |
