Cyprus

Cyprus is the third-largest island in the Mediterranean, surpassed only by Sicily and Sardinia. It is a highly developed country with a rich history due to its crossroads location between Europe and Asia. The countries closest to the island are Turkey, Syria, and Greece. The capital of the country is Nicosia, a city that lies along the Pedieos River. This sovereign state is a highly popular tourist destination due to its history and diverse nature including many species of migrational birds.

While Cyprus is often recommended as a tourist destination, it should not be overlooked as a location to study abroad. This is due to several reasons including a remarkably long list of accredited institutions as well as a comprehensive list of available subjects. For instance, in Nicosia’s 14 or so universities a student can learn subjects such as Business, Computer Science, Management, Finance & Banking, Law & Jurisprudence, Engineering, Accounting, Marketing, Education and IT. Besides these advantages, Cyprus is also a suitable location to practice learning and speaking foreign languages. However, one should not overlook certain factors which can become setbacks. To begin with, everyday expenses and costs for studying can exceed the limitations of one’s budget. This potential setback can be counterbalanced by taking advantage of certain scholarships, yet a student will need to meet the criteria in order to qualify for them. Another factor worth keeping in mind is that a student will most likely need to hold an admission test before enrolling in the institution of choice.
