Studying in Cyprus is not a bad experience. This country, despite its size, allows international student to secure study options of their choice.

Most international students wish to spend their studying life in Cyprus due to its growing academic reputations and living enchantments.

Tuition Fees

Despite the fact that Cyprus is a member of the EU and the Bologna system, most schools and colleges rely on the American system of education, which allows students the to choose their academic load and vary their course. It has a positive impact both on students' leisure time and tuition fee, as the fewer subjects you study, the less you pay.

Simultaneously, it is reasonably more complicated for the foreigners, since education for them is more expensive and, under the Cyprus immigration law, they are prohibited to work more hours than prescribed by the legislation.

However, the cost of education in Cyprus is accessible, and although it grows annually, this increase correlates to the inflation index. On average, tuition fees range between 3,500 and 8,000 EUR/year, or at around 314 EUR/module.

But it strongly depends on the course and university - private can be higher.
