WELCOME ADDRESS by
UCLan Cyprus RECTOR, Prof. PANIKKOS POUTZIOURIS

A warm welcome to UCLan Cyprus, the Enterprising British University delivering educational and training programmes to local and international students, but also to professionals living and working in Cyprus and beyond.

The vision of the University of Central Lancashire Cyprus is to be recognised as a world-class, research-led University, competing successfully and sustainably within a national and international market. We are a University that is recognised for its commitment to outstanding teaching and practical learning, impactful research, innovative thinking and knowledge transfer that adds value to socio-economic and scientific development across frontiers.

Our faculty and scholars are distinguished for pioneering initiatives and engagement with industry, professions, entrepreneurs and stakeholder communities.

The interaction of research and knowledge transfer with high quality educational and training programmes ensure a currency of knowledge and skills development that in turn will lead graduates to employability routes and access to Postgraduate activities.
