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.

Additionally, graduates can be employed in digital agencies, multimedia agencies, media
groups, TV channels, animation studios, radio stations, marketing agencies, consultancy firms or even start their own media/digital media related business.

Employability is also embedded in the programme, which contains several features with emphasis on continuous learning and personal development, reflective practice, teamwork skills and problem-solving skills, through hands-on applied projects. The broad applicability of the programme’s curriculum, combined with the personal capability that the programme engenders, creates highly competent individuals whose value can be recognised by employers.

Recent graduates of the programme in our mother University (UCLan UK) have taken up roles such as vision mixer, video producer, camera operator, radio DJ, graphics operator, presentation scheduler, editor, compositor, and studio erative, for employers such as Al Jazeera, BBC, Ideal World TV, BT Sports, and Sky Sports. Communication and Media Studies at the  University of Central Lancashire is ranked 1st in the North West and in the Top 10 in the UK for graduate prospects (Complete University Guide, 2022).

Students will learn about the mind and behaviour, enabling them to understand the way people act, react and interact. They will consider the roles of the brain and the nervous system upon behaviour, perception, mood and memory. The overall aims of the programme are to:

  • Provide a stimulating and supportive learning environment that gives the opportunity to develop potential;
  • Provide an up-to-date curriculum in psychology that emphasises the development of skills and knowledge related to the scientific and empirical aspects of the discipline;
  • Provide choice and flexibility in the curriculum while maintaining those core aspects of the syllabus needed to secure British Psychological Society recognition;
  • Foster the development of key skills that will facilitate further academic and vocational training and sub sequent employment;
  •  Provide students the opportunity to get involved in research, in collaboration with research active psychology faculty, thereby learning first-hand about the scientific method.

The programme also includes specialised optional modules which provide students the opportunity to concentrate on specific areas of study within the field of Psychology:

Forensic Psychology modules can support students in beginning to develop theoretical and practical considerations that can be helpful for future careers in Forensic psychology.

Sport & Exercise Psychology modules can support students in specialising their study in the application of psychology in sport contexts. It is particularly relevant to those wishing to pursue future careers in Sport & Exercise Psychology.

Furthermore, one of the most distinctive features of the programme is the Psychology Placement module that provides the opportunity to students to experience the application of psychology in a setting relevant to their degree.

BPS Accreditation

The British Psychological Society (BPS) visits courses every five years to review and determine the accreditation from the professional body. Our 2016 visit was particularly successful and secured the accreditation for the Psychology course for all our graduates completing the course with a second class degree or better. They commended the course on seven areas of provision. The first of which was that Psychology staff members provide a supportive and nurturing learning environment for students. Also, BPS commended that the programme incorporates a range of exciting research and placement opportunities for students, enabling them to experience a range of ‘real world’ psychological research and practice first-hand. They also noted that employability and psychological literacy are embedded thoroughly and effectively across the programme.

Therefore, UCLan Cyprus is the first University in Cyprus that provides an accredited Psychology course by BPS.

In today’s society, sports and physical activity is an increasingly important part of life for more and more people. Those involved in sports and physical activity are consistently striving to improve their performance, either as professionals, elite, amateurs, or purely for recreational and personal reasons. Sport and Exercise Sciences is a systematic way of studying how performance can be improved and how individuals can achieve their personal potential. It is within this context that our BSc (Hons) Sport & Exercise Sciences programme prepares graduates for a successful career in an exercise related field, by placing strong emphasis on both, theoretical knowledge and practical application. Our programme will appeal to those with an enthusiasm for sports and those who want to take an active role in the promotion of health and physical activity combined with an interest in science from a human perspective. A strong feature of the programme is that it provides a particularly solid understanding of the sport and exercise science discipline in years one and two. The third and fourth years build upon this foundation with an increased focus on students’ specific interests as well as providing placement opportunities for students to enhance their employability skills.

Beyond the discipline specific knowledge and skills, throughout the programme, students can develop essential transferable skills, such as research skills, digital literacy skills, communication skills, group-working and presentation skills. In each of the four years of the programme, students will study compulsory and optional modules which will allow them the flexibility to follow their own interests as they develop during their studies, including a focus on areas such as Human Performance, Sports Psychological Counselling and Physical Education. Moreover, students will have the opportunity to train on the finest learning, exercise and human performance laboratory equipment. The programme curriculum is research informed and highly practical, enabling graduates to work with professional athletes of any division and/or sport. Students can work with a range of clients including children and teens involved in sports, professional or semi-professional athletes interested in improving their performance as well as injured athletes/players working toward returning to sports participation. Practical application occurs in the campus fitness centre, athletic track, indoor hall and the sports laboratory, but most importantly in off-campus fieldwork and industry placements.
