UNIVERSITY OF CENTRAL LANCASHIRE CYPRUS
Life at UCLan Cyprus is a positive, productive and a nourishing experience. We strive to create a friendly atmosphere, which helps our students grow academically but also as individuals as they mature through the process from student to professional. We take great pride in our modern, state of the art facilities, which include a bright, spacious cafeteria and UCLan bar. These provide our students with opportunities to socialise throughout the day and in the evenings, here on campus helping build a feeling of togetherness throughout the student base.
Our library provides a peaceful and productive environment to allow students to make the most of our 320,000 resources, which include books, eBooks, articles, journals and eJournals.
Students can also enjoy a slice of nature in the gardens, making the most of opportunities to unwind after a day of classes or just looking for a chance to soak up some of the beautiful Cyprus sunshine! Students have the opportunity to keep fit by using our gym, which sports diverse and modern equipment.
Several events take place throughout the year for students to participate in and enjoy. These events include fundraisers for charity, local trips to other cities or the mountain region, recreational events organised on campus and various Fairs (i.e. Induction, Careers, Services) .

University Campus
UCLan Cyprus is located in Larnaka, and it is now in its twelfth year of operation. It is the first Branch Campus of the University of Central Lancashire and at the same time a fully licensed University in Cyprus. A unique and innovative model of a Cypriot and British University Educational Experience, regulated under the frameworks of the Cyprus Agency of Quality Assurance and Accreditation in Higher Education (CYQAA) and the UK Quality Assurance Agency and the Office for Students, respectively.
Built on strong academic foundations, the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan UK), our mother University, counts more than 190 years of history and is considered among the top 6.5% of all worldwide Universities by the Centre for World University Rankings (CWUR) 2020/21.
UCLan Cyprus operates under the academic umbrella of UCLan UK, and further to the latest political changes of the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union (BREXIT), it is considered a unique University, bridging the UK and Europe in terms of research, academic standards, student experience and student exchange.
The completion of studies at UCLan Cyprus will result in a double-awarded degree (two certificates) from the two Universities, UCLan UK and UCLan Cyprus, recognized not only in Cyprus and UK, but also across Europe and beyond.
Our students will also have the advantage of an exceptional student experience in every aspect of their University life, whether it is learning, personal support, facilities, accommodation, employability and social life, as well as personal development.
Bringing a world-class reputation for academic excellence and innovative thinking in Cyprus, our aim is to develop future business leaders and international entrepreneurs, with the skills and business acumen for success in the modern global economy. This means that we can offer a unique blend of knowledge, practical experience and modern relevance, to equip students with the qualifications and skills for the international market in employment. Many of our courses are also accredited by professional and statutory bodies, ensuring the standards expected by today’s businesses for all UCLan Cyprus students.
