FAQ
Studying in Cyprus: FAQs
Clear answers to the questions students ask us most.
Still have a question?
Is Cyprus part of the European Union?
Yes. The Republic of Cyprus has been a member state of the European Union since 2004. The northern part of the island is not under the effective control of the Republic of Cyprus, which is why we help you check exactly where an institution is located and how its qualifications are recognised.
Are programmes in Cyprus taught in English?
Many universities and colleges in Cyprus offer programmes taught in English. The language of instruction can differ by programme, so we confirm it in writing for every course you shortlist.
How does VGI help with studying in Cyprus?
