University of Nicosia

Private and taught entirely in English, which is why it carries most of the island's international intake — over 12,500 students from more than 100 countries. The medical school was built with St George's, University of London and follows that syllabus, so the degree route is British in structure while sitting inside the EU. Entry usually needs around IELTS 6.0-6.5; medicine is higher and has its own selection.

Taught master's programmes in business, computing and law typically ask for around IELTS 6.5 / TOEFL iBT 88. Fees run higher than at the public university, and at least the first semester must be paid before an entry permit is issued.

Doctoral admission is supervisor-driven. Note the ranking caveat carried in the catalogue: the 711-720 band is from the QS 2027 edition because the university publishes no 2026 position, and substituting one would be a guess.
