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.
