The newly approved English-language undergraduate programmes are: Medicine (MD) Bachelor in Business Administration in Accounting or Finance Bachelor in Business Administration in Marketing, Operations Management or Management Bachelor in Economics, Economic Theory and Econometrics or International and European Economic Studies According to Christofides, “this development marks a significant milestone for our university and further strengthens its international orientation, expanding the opportunities for studying in a foreign language for students from Cyprus and abroad. “Preparations are already in full swing and we are working at an intensive pace so that the programmes can be offered from September 2027, with the high academic quality standards that characterise the University of Cyprus. This is the first English-language undergraduate programme of the Medical School, as well as three English-language programmes of the Faculty of Economics and Management, which respond to the modern needs of society and the labour market.” The four programmes mark the university’s second wave of English-language undergraduate offerings. The Council of Ministers had previously approved UCY’s first foreign-language inter-university undergraduate programme, the YUFE Bachelor in Urban Sustainability Studies, offered through the Young Universities for the Future of Europe (YUFE) alliance and set to launch in September 2026. Announcing that approval, Christofides had called it the university’s first significant step under the new legislative framework and said he expected further English-language undergraduate programmes to follow, with a focus on internationalisation.
