Study Transfer from Cyprus: from Nicosia to a New University

Where can you study medicine in Cyprus?

• University of Nicosia Medical School — the country's largest private medical university, medicine and dentistry in English. To the location article.
• European University Cyprus, Nicosia — six-year medical programme in English.
• University of Cyprus, Nicosia — state university with a medical faculty.

Tuition fees at the private universities are approximately 20,000 to 23,000 EUR per academic year, making them among the highest in Europe. A regional overview is available in the article Studying medicine in Malta, Cyprus and Spain.

Why do students transfer from Cyprus to another university?

The total bill

At approximately 20,000 to 23,000 EUR per academic year plus living costs, the degree adds up to well over 120,000 EUR. When financing falls through, changing location determines whether the degree continues.

One subject becomes the bottleneck

Failing an exam often means losing an entire academic year — and paying that year's fee regardless.

The location does not suit

Island life, distance, daily living costs: over six years of study these are real factors that are hard to assess in advance.

How does the study transfer from Cyprus work?

You do not have to work any of it out yourself — that is our job. We deliberately publish no checklists and no date tables here, because what is needed differs from university to university and from year to year, and a list that is one round out of date can cost you an academic year.

What we need from you is simply your profile: what you have completed in Nicosia so far, your study records, and the countries you can picture yourself in. We compare that with the curricula of our partner universities and then tell you at which university in which country we can place you, at which point of entry, and where the start is genuinely plannable. Everything after that — the paperwork, the recognition of your prior learning, the communication with the university — runs through us.

Large state university with its own university hospital, medicine in English, 360 ECTS, MD degree. 1,500 EUR per quarter, i.e. 6,000 EUR per academic year. To the Niš location article.

The full list of all NC-free options can be found in the study transfer article on Bulgaria. Beyond the three locations above stands the largest selection of official partner universities we know of — for human medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, nursing and veterinary medicine.

The level of placement depends on the individual case

All pathways mentioned here are designed to achieve the highest possible year placement for you through us — with no or minimal loss of time, and in practice the point of entry often falls in one of the last two years of the programme. What is feasible in your specific case becomes clear once we have looked at your profile, and that is exactly what the free consultation is for.

What the transfer means financially

Cyprus charges approximately 20,000 to 23,000 EUR per academic year. Malta costs 14,500 EUR, Niš 6,000 EUR and Foča 3,500 EUR. Transferring in the third year, over four remaining years, that is between 26,000 and 78,000 EUR less in tuition fees depending on the destination. Our placement fee is success-based: if no study place materialises, you incur no costs.

Why it pays to get in touch early

Places at our partner universities are limited, and being enrolled is the better starting position — so the conversation is worth having before the next resit rather than after it. The earlier we know your situation, the wider the choice of universities and countries still open to you, and the calmer the whole thing can be planned.

Looking at your profile takes a few days and costs nothing. You tell us where you stand; we tell you where we can place you and how high we can get you in. Book a free study consultation.
