Higher Education in Cyprus

10. Structural Developments of Higher Education in Cyprus

by Anastasia Kanari

The author describes in her paper recent developments in higher education in Cyprus: “the launch of the University of Cyprus in September 1992, the establishment and operation of another two public universities - the Open University of Cyprus in September 2006 and the Cyprus University of Technology in September 2007.”

However, in the author’s opinion, “the present Cyprus higher education system has some deficiencies which need to be rectified in order for it to become a more comprehensive and innovative oriented higher education system. For example, the Cyprus higher education system should offer more opportunities to Cypriot students to study in their home country in fields such as medicine, a faculty that does not yet exist in Cypriot universities. It could also attract more European and international students by promoting the permanent and temporary mobility of foreign students and offering study programmes taught in international languages.” (Kanari, 2010, pp. 3-4)

Anastasia is a student in MAHE since 2009, and is espacially interested in developments in educational research, structures of international higher education systems, and teaching. Please find a photo of her on the Author’s page.
