European University Cyprus has a reputation for quality education with high graduate employability, and has been recognized for its investment in high-tech innovation and engagement with industry and society. Over the last decade, the university has fostered a culture of modernization that has resulted in levels of growth that have exceeded all expectations, upgrading the scope and quality of university education in Cyprus, and defining a clear international orientation for both the university and the country. European University Cyprus is part of Galileo Global Education, Europe’s largest education group that provides education to over 120,000 students through its network of 42 institutions around the world.
European University Cyprus has introduced state-of-the-art technology and boosted the country’s health sector through the establishment of the most advanced School of Medicine in the region. With the launch of the first Dentistry program in the country, the university offers a comprehensive selection of studies in the fields of Medicine and Health Sciences, and attracts academics and students from around the globe.
QS Top Universities (QS Stars University Ratings), one of the most authoritative international rating organizations, has ranked European University Cyprus as a ‘Five Stars’ institution for its overall assessment. Additionally, European University Cyprus has received five stars for its performance in the areas of teaching, employability, internationalization, online learning, and inclusiveness, as well as the MD Medicine for the competitiveness and strength of the program.
The five-year Dentistry program – taught in English - offers a modern curriculum based on the highest European and North American dental education standards. The program utilises state-of-the-art facilities that include the anatomy dissection room and clinical and technical skills labs with high-fidelity patient simulators. Students receive training through augmented reality and develop skills using the full range of dental equipment. Each lab is exclusively designed to accommodate 20 students in order to ensure the high quality and greater personalisation of teaching. The on-campus Dental Clinic allows for extensive clinical practice and first-hand patient contact, providing high-quality dental care to hundreds of community members each year.
The program aims to train the new generation of dentists, equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary for the modern labour market. Particular emphasis is placed on ensuring patient safety during dental treatment, as well as instilling students with the confidence and know-how to perform even the most complicated procedures.
Indeed, the EUC Dentistry program is now a reference point for the region given its international recognition and its compliance with the EU requirements for General Dental Practitioner.
With a diverse student body and faculty, continuous support and a strong sense of community, students at EUC are assured a collaborative learning environment and a global perspective in the field of dental health. The program attracts international students from all over the world including Germany, Italy, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, UK, Ireland, Russia, New Zealand, France, Israel, India, and Greece.
European University Cyprus’ inclusion among the top universities in the world in the Times Higher Education University Impact Rankings marks a particularly significant success, as the university ranks considerably higher than long-established universities globally in key criteria. It is ranked among the 201+ universities in the world in the areas of Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Infrastructure for the third consecutive year.
The – now – renowned EUC School of Medicine, established in 2013 through the collaboration of acclaimed scientists and professors from Cyprus and abroad, has enhanced the student experience. It offers them latest high-tech facilities and infrastructure as they are taught by Nobel laureates, practitioners and scholars in the field. The excellent teaching is coupled with simulated learning as well as opportunities for clinical training in public and private hospitals in Cyprus and abroad (with summer externships in more than 10 countries) from the first year of study. Equally, the recognition of the degree by the World Federation of Medical Education (WFME) opened the way for students to continue their practical training around the world, including in the US.
EUC is training a new generation of doctors and dentists who upon graduation are fully prepared and automatically qualify to work as general practitioners anywhere in the 32 European Union and European Free Trade Association member states, while they are also entitled to membership to the Association of Dental Education in Europe.
The full-time program, which starts in October, is open to applicants from the European Union and non-EU countries. The eligibility criteria and admission requirements are provided on the website.
