Common questions

Study in Cyprus — your questions, answered.

Do I need IELTS to study in Cyprus?

Many Cypriot institutions do not require IELTS and instead use their own English placement assessments. If you have an IELTS score it strengthens your file, but its absence doesn't close the door — we shortlist institutions that match your profile.

How much does it cost to study in Cyprus?

Tuition typically runs €4,000–9,000 per year, and living costs are among the lowest in Europe. Total yearly cost is often less than half of the UK or Australia.

What is the Pink Slip?

The Pink Slip is the Temporary Residence Permit every non-EU student must obtain shortly after arriving in Cyprus. Your institution assists with the process — and we brief you fully on the documents and steps before you fly.

Why do my documents need attestation for Cyprus?

Cyprus requires your academic documents (Class 12 / degree certificates) to be officially attested before your visa application. Attestation takes time, so we start this step early in your file preparation.

Can I move to other European countries after studying in Cyprus?

Cyprus is an EU member, and a European qualification opens academic and career doors across the continent. Free movement rights, however, depend on your visa status — we explain honestly what a Cyprus qualification can and cannot do for your longer-term plans.
