It opened its doors to students for the first time on 2nd October this year at its new campus, located close to Larnaka, a short distance from the Larnaka/Paralimni A3 highway. The University offers joint UK and Cyprus degree programmes of study, which are joint awards from both UCLan in the UK and UCLan Cyprus. These degrees are recognised by the UK Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) and the Ministry of Education and Culture in the Republic of Cyprus, and are also recognised by the Cyprus Council for the Recognition of Higher Education Qualifications (KYSATS).

The School of Business and Management at UCLan Cyprus offers BA (Hons) degree programmes in Accounting and Finance, Hospitality and Tourism Management and Business Administration, with specialisations in business & management, business information systems, and international business communication.
