2. Cyprus University of Technology

Language of Instruction Greek is the official language of instruction. Incoming students are encouraged to attend the Greek Language courses offered by the Language School of the University during the semesters. The Language Centre provides Greek Language courses annually, for all language levels, designed to offer adequate linguistic support to incoming students as well as staff interested to attend them. Courses are free of charge. Apart from Greek, incoming participants can attend English, French, Spanish, Italian, German and Russian language courses. |
Incoming students are also expected to have knowledge of the English language up to level B1 at least. They should include in their application documents official language examination certificates such as TOEFL, IGCSE or other similar. In case these are not available the students must present a certificate from their home university which verifies their knowledge of English Language up to level B1 and at the same time indicate the courses and level of English attended on their Transcript of Records. It is up to the host department to decide whether this certificate is considered enough for the student’s acceptance. Currently the Department of Communication and Internet Studies offers an English semester of 24 ECTS during the spring semester. Certain courses are offered under Hotel and Tourism Management degree and Multimedia and Graphic Arts Degree. Other CUT Departments may offer bibliography, assignments, tutorials and exams in English for certain courses that are pre-agreed with the academics in the relevant departments. |
Courses
All courses taught at CUT are described in the official Language of the University, Greek. Course information can be also found in the web page of each department independently. A Course catalogue in English is updated on the website regularly so as to allow incoming participants to make well informed choices prior to mobility.
