The academics are very experienced, also in the professional field, which is very important. The practical nature of the curriculum and the opportunities that you have to work on different projects and research studies help you get into what you will work in the future. I believe that with the experience and the skills that I gained through UCLan Cyprus, I will be part of the technology of tomorrow.

I finished my Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics & Statistics at UCLan Cyprus, and I continued with my postgraduate degree at Data Analtycis at UCLan Cyprus, This gave me the opportunity to be employed at the audit firm KPMG, Data Analytics combines statistics and programming, which both are on fire now in the market. I have discussed with the professor of the programme, at the university, and I realised that this has significant prospects for career and progression.

BEng (Hons) Electrical & Electronic Engineering

School of Sciences

My bachelor’s degree helped me succeed in understanding the fundamental principles of Electrical and Electronic Engineering. During my studies, I learned to design and analyse circuits, gain proficiency in programming languages, and develop problem-solving skills, which are crucial for my current role. Practical experience from the first year of study helped me apply theoretical knowledge to real-world scenarios. The hands-on projects in the laboratories also enhanced my ability to troubleshoot and innovate, helping me build a strong foundation for my career in research. Being eligible to register with ETEK (Cyprus Technical and Scientific Chamber) benefited me in terms of professional development and opportunities. It provided me with a platform to stay updated with industry standards, network with professionals, and access resources that contribute to my growth in the field of AI and data analysis.

It is with great joy that I embark on this new chapter of my life at UCLan Cyprus, which has opened its doors to me, giving me the opportunity to study in the BSc (Hons) Sport & Exercise Science programme. I would like to thank the management and academic staff for their excellent cooperation, and I am confident that both I and the university will gain many benefits from this long journey.

BSc (Hons) Sport & Exercise Science

School of Sciences

After conducting a research about the different universities in Cyprus, I decided to come to UCLan Cyprus for many reasons, mainly for the double – awarded degree, one from Cyprus and one from the UK, which gives a global scope compared to completing a programme in Greek, which could limit me to Cyprus and Greece. During my studies, I succeeded in thinking more scientifically. My professors played a huge role in my development, and in helping me with studies because they were always by our side and are excellent scientists. In the University’s Sports Lab, we had the tremendous opportunity to work with high-level atheletes, and had the opportunity to analyse our data based on our state-of-the-art equipment.

I chose UCLan Cyprus because of the high standards of education it offers, as well as the low tuition fees, which is very important to consider. Moreover, the university has up-to-date facilities, and the courses are taught in English, providing a universal way of learning and using vocabulary that is recognized worldwide. Lastly, an important factor for me is that the university is located in my district.

There are many reasons for that, but I believe the number one reason is the financial factor! I was accepted by a university in Greece, but I always wanted to stay in Cyprus, so UCLan Cyprus gave me that opportunity.
