University of Cyprus introduces five new English-language undergraduate programs

On November 3, 2026, the University of Cyprus held a press conference to officially unveil five new English-language undergraduate degree programs. This initiative is a core component of the university's 2026–2031 Strategic Plan, aimed at internationalization and attracting both local and foreign students. The programs are scheduled to commence in September 2027.

The new offerings span various disciplines including Medicine, Business Administration, Economics, and Urban Sustainability. Annual tuition fees are self-funded and vary significantly by course: the six-year Medical Degree (MD) is the most expensive at €25,000 per year, while the four-year programs in Economics and Business cost €10,000 annually. The three-year YUFE Bachelor in Urban Sustainability Studies, offered in collaboration with a European university alliance, is the most affordable at €5,300 per year.

Prospective students can begin applying for the 2027-2028 academic year via the YUFE Virtual Campus. The university emphasizes that these self-funded programs will not strain the institution's existing budget. Further information is available through the university’s communications office or their online catalog, which details specific entrance requirements, such as A-level performance standards for the medical program.
