The European University Cyprus (EUC) announced on July 27, 2026, that it has officially secured a license to establish and operate a new university branch in Athens, branded as EUC-Athens. This strategic move marks a significant milestone in the institution's international expansion and commitment to academic excellence, aiming to enhance its presence within the Greek higher education sector.

The establishment of the Athens campus is described as a major investment in regional education, building upon the university's long-standing relationship with Greece, where thousands of students and alumni have already studied. By leveraging its academic experience and focus on research and innovation, the institution intends to contribute to the development of high-level human resources and the broader socioeconomic growth of the region.
