A path during which you have the opportunity to fulfill dreams, aspirations and desires, professional ambitions but also your personal concerns and choices. Neapolis University Pafos in Cyprus, a full member of the European Association of Institutions in Higher Education (EURASHE), recognised by the competent authorities of the Hellenic Republic (DOATAP), the Republic of Cyprus (KYSATS) and the EU, a full member of the Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) of the United Nations, the United Nations Academic Impact (UNAIC) initiative and the ERASMUS CHARTER with a series student exchange agreements at EU Universities, guarantees to be your supporter in this path, offering the possibility of studies with absolute safety and academic excellence.

All our University’s programmes are accredited, internationally recognized, and staffed with highly qualified and reputable academic staff.

Specifically:

At the School of Law, a full member of the International Association of Law Schools (IALS), we offer prestigious undergraduate studies in Law, having integrated into the teaching of the courses the simulation of the justice system with the participation of students, academics and judicial officers. The simulation, in accordance with the International Virtual Trial Competitions, on the one hand includes a written process, submitted by the participating lawyers (depending on the jurisdiction to which the case is subject to), and on the other hand an oral process before the Virtual Court, which each time consists of legal scientists and real judges.

At the School of Health Sciences, we offer prestigious undergraduate studies in Psychology. The possibility of placement, both in the University’s Counseling Centre for Research and Psychological Support and in recognised providers of psychological support and counseling services, offers students the opportunity to apply the acquired knowledge with dozens of options in types of population, tools and supervision. At the same time, the students actively participate in the research laboratories of the School, while also applying their research knowledge and enriching their experience. The innovation lies in the subject matter of the laboratories, which is not found in other greek-speaking research laboratories.

At the School of Economics, Administration and Computer Science, we offer theoretical and applied studies of distinguished quality and international prestige. The School is a member of the European Foundation for Management Development, one of the largest international academic accreditation networks for Business Schools. The degrees in Business Administration, Digital Business, Accounting, Banking and Finance and Applied Informatics have been accredited by Middlesex University in London and Hull University, of the United Kingdom, further expanding the prospects and opportunities of our graduates. Our students have the opportunity to gain professional knowledge through their participation in paid placement programmes in businesses, as well as professional certifications offered through the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), the Digital Marketing Institute (DMI) and the recognition of the degree of Applied Informatics by the European Federation of National Engineering Associations (FEANI).

At the School of Architecture, Engineering and Land and Environmental Sciences, all the undergraduate programmes offered, Architecture, Civil Engineering, and Real Estate Valuation and Development, are accredited by the Technical Chamber of Cyprus (ETEK). The undergraduate programme in Civil Engineering has been recognised by the European Federation of National Engineering Associations (FEANI). The international certification of our graduates and the high international prestige of the School is further strengthened by the fact that the MSc in Real Estate has been certified by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), while the MA in Landscape Architecture has been recognised as a member of the European Council of Landscape Architecture Schools (ECLAS). The excellent laboratory infrastructure and the paid internship in businesses provide further validity and reliability.

At the School of Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities, the Department of History, Politics and International Studies offers the pioneering BSc in International Relations and Security, which is unique in the Mediterranean region. With the recognition of the School and its programmes by the International Studies Association (ISA), and the Academic Association for Contemporary European Studies (UACES), our graduates have the opportunity for an international career and professional recognition.
