It provides postgraduate education to holders of a Bachelor in Law or of some other relevant Bachelor (Political Science, European Politics, IR, Economics etc.). Mainly, but not exclusively, it addresses itself to individuals who work or intend to do so in fields relevant to legal science (lawyers, judges, legal consultants or in general employees of companies and of other private sector entities or organizations, members of the public service or of some other public or semi-public agency or organization, members of non-governmental organizations, diplomats etc.) It is expected that the programme will provide its graduates with additional qualifications and that it will enhance their cognitive as well as their managerial capacities when dealing with issues relevant to Law; this will help them enrich their career opportunities. Graduates of the programme also have the opportunity to pursue further studies at a PhD level. The programme particularly highlights special legal issues that are of great theoretical and practical importance, encouraging a comparative approach to legal science, within the contemporary European context. Provisions of national law are being taken in close co-examination with European law, with the aim of confronting contemporary problems and challenges in a theoretically informed, while practically efficient, way. The main academic aims of the program are: (a) the deepening of knowledge in specialized fields of legal science with theoretical and practical importance, as well as (b) the broadening of the understanding of legal science and of its implementation in a comparative European and International context. The programme explores the function of national law and its interrelation with European and International Law. The methods of interpretation and of the application of law are analyzed in a practical context, while emphasis is given both to the theoretical parameters and practical implementation, with an overall view to enhancing the capacity of students to confront current challenges and problems, especially those they may be encountered in the European and International environment, either in the field of commerce and entrepreneurship, or in the field of human rights and social justice. Students are given the opportunity to engage in academic research and the application of legal practices and models, gaining well-founded specialization in legal fields of particular importance.

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

Objectives The main educational objectives of the programme are the following: To provide students with a high level practical, theoretical and artistic education in the field of dance 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 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 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 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 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).
