Semester in Cyprus: Health Sciences

You CAN study abroad – because UNIC offers these degree programs in English, you have access to lab-based science courses, which typically are not otherwise available in most of Southern Europe.

If you are currently on a pre-professional health track such as pre-medical, pre-nursing, pre-physical therapy or pre-veterinary, you have the unique opportunity to take courses that are part of your core or related curriculum in life and health sciences, which, combined with general education requirements and electives, can keep you on track for graduation.

You can gain early exposure to labs and facilities that might not be available back home; for example, taking an anatomy and physiology course in the cadaver lab at our Medical School campus.

Students choose courses for up to 30 ECTS from the catalog of regularly scheduled Spring and Fall semester courses offered at the University of Nicosia.

There are many courses to choose from, in a wide variety of topics, including:

• Biology
• Chemistry
• Organic Chemistry
• Cell Biology
• Immunology and Virology
• Human Anatomy and Physiology
• Nursing
• Comparative Management and Delivery of Care

Final course schedules are posted shortly before each semester begins. You can get an idea of potential courses to be offered by looking at what is usually offered each term:
