According to the new structure of the English Language and Literature programme offered at University of Cyprus students must fulfil the following requirements:

• 17 compulsory courses in the 1st and 2nd year
• 16 compulsory and elective courses in the 3rd and 4th year
• 3 levels of a Foreign Language courses (other than English), offered by the Language Center.
• 4 University elective courses (from at least three different Schools of the University of Cyprus). As university elective courses, students may opt for foreign language courses, the general University rule being that only one language course at the 1st level can count as a University elective. If they decide to do so, they have two options. They may take: 1) either one or two levels of the same language, which will count as one or two university electives respectively, as long as this language is different from the one they have chosen for the foreign language requirement, or 2) the 4th level of the language they have chosen for the foreign language requirement to count as one University elective. If students take this second option, they may also take another foreign language course to count as an additional University elective.
• Students may choose to prepare a final thesis in place of 2 electives in their 4th year of studies.
