Architecture University of Nicosia

Overview

The Architecture programme from University of Nicosia prepares graduates to continue their studies if they wish to pursue an academic career, and/or prepares them for a labour market orientation.

Key Facts:

The programme has been designed in accordance with the eleven points of the European Commission’s Architects Directive for the transformation of higher education in Europe initiated by the Bologna declaration; at the same time it acknowledges the importance of constructing a unique identity and catering for diversity in architectural education as influenced by local conditions (culture, climate, local market and needs etc).
