University of Nicosia, Cyprus

In 2011, St. George's University of London, the only specialised medical and healthcare university in the UK, and the University of Nicosia (UNIC), the largest university in Cyprus, merged. The University of Nicosia (UNIC) is committed to practice-oriented education under the best possible conditions. These efforts are recognised worldwide: It occupies top positions in numerous international rankings. It was the first university in Europe to receive triple recognition (5 QS Stars, EADTU, EFQUEL) for excellence in online education, as the latest technologies and cutting-edge learning design theories are used to deliver the courses.

Around 850 students from more than 64 countries - including the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand - take advantage of the university's offer. 99.4 per cent of graduates work in over 200 medical centres worldwide.

To prepare the future graduates for working with patients, the university offers an exceptional programme. This not only includes technical content, but also helps them to increase skills and confidence. There is also the opportunity to have an open discussion about the case of the week in a problem-based learning environment. In the fourth year, in preparation for clinical placements in hospitals, a formal White Coat Ceremony is held at the Open Amphitheatre of the University of Nicosia.

With more than 12,000 students from over 70 countries, the University of Nicosia is the largest higher education institution in Southern Europe. The learning space is innovative, transformative and studies are mainly conducted in English. Globally, the university is present in 18 cities. The aim is to strive for excellence and continuous development, to instil confidence in students and to prepare them for international work.
