The university offers undergraduate and postgraduate courses in subjects such as business, social sciences, law, engineering, medical science and veterinary medicine. According to the Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2024, the University of Nicosia ranks among the top universities in the world.
The university is a welcoming place for students aiming to pursue careers in medicine and veterinary medicine. The University of Nicosia Medical School's doctor of medicine programme offers undergraduate and graduate entry with programme durations of six and five years respectively. The programme stands out for its integrated approach, which combines traditional lectures, laboratory work, group projects, problem-based learning and early clinical experiences.
“Since day one, the University of Nicosia Medical School has been very supportive and made my experience welcoming and friendly,” says Neha Najeeb, who is a medical student from the class of 2026 at the university’s medical school. Hailing from Canada, Najeeb is an international student at the university, which has students representing over 100 countries around the world.
“As the first person in my family to enter the medical field, the guidance and assistance from the staff and professors have been invaluable,” says Najeeb. Her story highlights the school’s efforts to create a comfortable environment where students can feel at home, even when they’re far from their own.
“The degree encourages independent thinking. I’ve gained valuable knowledge and skills for my future career,” says Najeeb, highlighting the programme’s effectiveness in preparing students for their future careers, including support for the United States Medical Licensing Examination.
The medical school’s mobile clinic offers students a unique opportunity to give back to the community while enriching their educational journey with practical experience. Additionally, the extracurricular activities available at the university allow students to develop a balanced set of skills and engage in cultural exchange.
At the university’s School of Veterinary Medicine, the focus on practical learning is equally strong. A hands-on approach is important in building a comprehensive understanding of veterinary medicine and acquiring essential practical skills. “The doctor of veterinary medicine programme offers a unique opportunity to visit commercial farms to study animal husbandry from year one,” says Bshara Haddadin, a veterinary student from Jordan, enrolled in the 2027 cohort of the programme. “The field trips enable us to gain hands-on experience and learn about animals’ anatomies, behaviours, health issues and correct handling techniques.”
Students at the university form the largest international student community in Cyprus. This diverse student body creates a vibrant, multicultural environment that enhances the learning experience. The student residences on campus set a new standard for student living, offering exceptional accommodation that is among Europe’s finest.
