But as a Russian or citizen of the CIS countries to get a university diploma in Cyprus, without spending big money?

Free higher education in the country is not provided for both for the Cypriots themselves and for foreigners. However, it is still worth paying attention to Cypriot universities. First, in Cyprus you can get a diploma for much less cost than in other European countries. Secondly, there are government programs for financial assistance to foreign students in which they can receive discounts and scholarships. Thirdly, in parallel with learning you can work, which will save parental money.

All of them are prepared according to various programs of bachelors and masters.

How to become a student of the Cyprus university
It is necessary to have a certificate of full secondary education with translation into English or a diploma of the end of an equivalent educational institution in the event of admission to Master Programs (all documents are notarized).
A good level of English is also important (TOEFL certificates at least 500 points or IELTS at least 5.5). If English does not reach somewhat, there is an opportunity to undergo an intense language course upon arrival in Cyprus. Need to collect everything required documents In the homeland, send to the university, pay for the consideration of documents (about 100 euros) and wait for a positive response, since the entrance exams for foreigners in most cases are absent. Training begins in September-October, but applying documents is better in advance in April-May.
If the student is adopted in the university, then the first six months he must devote exclusively the learning process and acquaintance with Cyprus culture. Only then it is worth starting to find work, however it is important to know that students are not citizens of the EU countries have no right to work for the first six months after entering the country, hereinafter - a maximum of 20 hours a week during their studies and 38 hours a week during the holidays. In addition, the decision of the Labor Department (τμήμα εργασίας) clearly defined the spheres of possible employment.

Types of work for a student from the non-European country
* In the field of trade (by warehouses in warehouses, chernobykh-workers at gas stations);

In the modern dynamic world, young people are increasingly seeking to get an education abroad. What motivates to leave the usual life and for several years to move to an unfamiliar world with someone else's language and incomprehensible traditions? We decided to ask the Cypriots who studied in Russia and Russian-speaking students in Cyprus.

What do Russians and CIS citizens say, studying in Cyprus, about the advantages of local vocational education?
First, it is cheaper than in other European countries. Secondly, it is often based on the American system, which gives students the opportunity to vary at their discretion and visiting schedule. It is also important that after six months of staying in the country, foreign students are entitled to work (though not in all areas). The island is famous for an excellent climate and traditionally benevolent relations to the Russians. And this is the country with the richest historical and cultural HeritageTo which you can join. At the same time, life here is measured here and is rich in noisy night entertainment, which are so distracted by young people from the main goal - receiving knowledge. Almost popularity among foreign students enjoys education in the field of hotel and restaurant business and tourism. Prepare such specialists in many educational institutions in Cyprus.

Antonina Dykhta (28 years)
He arrived from Odessa to study in college of tourism and hotel management. Antonina is already completing four-year training and in June will receive a bachelor's degree diploma. One of the obvious advantages for it: education acquired abroad is valued at home much higher. It is also important that all items in college are taught in English, which Antonina owns at a very high level (additionally she studies and Greek). In addition, in the summer, students can pass practices in these largest hotels as Hilton, and these are invaluable practical skills and the opportunity to see the hotel's work system from within. During the years of study, Antonin found out not tourist, but real Cyprus, and such knowledge about another country always enriches.
Another direction in obtaining education is the study of the Greek language. University of Cyprus, namely one of his divisions - the school of the Novogreic Language, - offers this education service. Here in the evening, get additional education Many foreigners living and working in Cyprus. Russians (including the author of the article) and the immigrants from the CIS countries constitute almost half of all students of the school.

Anna Morari (25 years old)
Cyprus arrived from Chisinau and is now working at Alfa Capital Holdingz Limited company. At Anna University studies the Greek language, which he wants to master perfectly, because it will significantly help her in her further career. Anna really like the learning technique. The teachers actively attract additional visual material, prepare presentations, watching Greek films with students, listen to music. However, Anna notes that the learning process is completely built on the student's self-discipline, there are no tough control by teachers.
Famous truth reads: "Everything is known in comparison!" So, Cypriots who studied in Russia, as a large plus note the fundamentality and depth of the theoretical knowledge obtained, a large number of Objects (this significantly expands the horizons). There are foreigners and a fairly rigid system of teaching, and attention to discipline - all this helps young people more seriously treat their studies.
On the contrary, Russian-speaking students as a positive moment call the liberalism of the Cyprus training system, believe that the lack of teaching control brings up self-discipline and sense of responsibility. They also like the fact that there is no large number of extra objects, knowledge is not only theoretical, but also practical.

Comfortable education in Cyprus

Cyprus with its Mediterranean climate, colorful landscapes and gold sandy beaches are traditionally considered a great place to relax, but few people know that in addition to aesthetic and gastronomic pleasure in Cyprus, you can also get a great education.

Cyprus Education System - Key Features

The main feature of the educational system of the Republic of Cyprus is the essential participation of the state in the raising of children. Experienced teachers which take on all the concerns on its versatile development up to 3 years, after which the child falls into a children's educational institution (analogue of our kindergarten), in which it is studying until the age of 6.

Teaching technique in kindergartens of Cyprus is traditional enough, but it has some distinctive features. The program of classes with kids is designed for a certain age, at the same time educators in the interactive form immediately teach kids in the bilingual system, implying the study of several foreign languagesThe most popular among which are English and Turkish.

It should be noted that the level of service in children's preschool institutions is exemplary. The diet is determined by the graduate nutritionist, all mobile games are based on gymnastic exercises and therapeutic physical education.

Normal kindergarten In Cyprus, there is about 12 hours, while several days a week (mainly, on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays) there is also a nightgroup, which is very convenient for parents working alone or planning mini-leisure.

An important for the citizens of our country is also the presence of several Russian kindergartens in Cypria - for example, in Paphos, the Children's educational institution "Sun Angel's Nest" functions at school, and the Garden "UMKA" in the capital of the republic (Nicosia) is a private institution. Of course, the services of kindergartens paid, but it really is worth it.

System of secondary education

The course of secondary education in Cyprus is 12 years and divided into two age periods - from 6 to 12 years, children visit the so-called primary school. The following 3 years of students pass the Gymnasium educational course - it should be noted that these two periods of education are mandatory in Cyprus. In public schools, training is free, while school program The same for municipal and private educational institutions, not as an example of Russian schools. Mandatory educational program In schools of any type is funded by tax fees.

In private educational institutions, in parallel with the national exists, there is also a specialized (profile) training scheme - most such establishments belong to foreign or private enterprises.

The final stage in obtaining secondary education - 3-year training in a unified or vocational education (respectively, "Unified Lyceum" or "Secondary Technical and Vocational Education"), after which 18-year-old students receive a certificate of secondary education and a specialized certificate of humanitarian / Technique depending on the type of lyceum. In fact, these documents are already given the right to employment - graduates can work with clerks or technical experts at various enterprises.

Duration school year, as in Russia, is about 9 months - schoolchildren usually go to classes from September 10 and go to summer holidays at the end of May, while during the year there are also small interruptions in the program. The call to the first lesson rings quite early, at 7:30 am, however, at 14:30, schoolchildren are already free, the duration of change is also standard and is 10, 15 and 25 minutes. Checkers in elementary school ends 1 hour earlier than classes in the gymnasium and a lyceum - this fact should be considered if you choose an educational institution for multi-age children.

A prerequisite for visiting any school in Cyprus is the presence of school uniforms - traditionally it is gray pants and black t-shirts for boys and gray skirts in a pair with white blouses for girls.

Many immigrants note the availability of education in Cyprus, in particular, in British schools and lyceums, all objects in which are taught in English. At the same time, almost all children for a short time are well assisted with the new medium and begin to perceive the language perfectly.

Knowledge of English at a sufficient level to assimilate the material and performing tasks is one of the basic requirements for applicants. Unlike other European universities, Cyprus Universities will not require certificates about the successful passage of tests such as IELTS, GMAT, GRE, TOEFL or SAT, but their presence is an important argument in favor of solving a scholarship issue.

Student experience: grants and scholarships

As with all over the world, Cypriot universities practices the payment of grants and scholarship students - in the overwhelming majority of cases, their size is determined by the level of financial needs and is calculated on the basis of real (averaged) needs, while the amount usually does not exceed 1/3 of the cost of training.

The decision on the appointment of scholarships or the issuance of a grant is made by the Department of Cyprus Culture and the Bureau of Education - funds intended for financial support of students are very limited, their number is calculated with tens (not even hundreds) and requires serious argumentation.

Accommodations

There are no problems with accommodation in Cyprus - students can choose among many proposals of public hostels, hostels, guest houses, apartments, and the administration of the educational institution always takes direct participation in the placement of their students (help to find accommodation close to university, at an affordable price and t .d.).

Of course, the best decision is the student town - and the stroks of view of access to all resources of the university or college and from the point of view of the atmosphere. However, it should be noted that there are not enough places in the campus at all, the monthly cost of residence without taking into account the cost of using electricity, water supply and other communications ranges from 350 to 500 euros - for this money you can rent a comfortable apartment.

How to get a visa

If you plan to send to study in Cyprus, in advance (at least 2-3 months) should be worked out about the design of a student visa, the application for the extradition of which should be sent to the Administration of the Academy of Science (receiving parties).

Education in Cyprus: Benefits and Disadvantages

Summing up, with confidence it can be said that the universities of Cyprus offer us an excellent quality of education at a very reasonable price, guarantee the development of skills necessary for working in the face of a developing international market, not to mention a pleasant pastime.

  • Availability of education and its high quality, including rare specializations;
  • The possibility of learning foreign languages;
  • Employment opportunity;
  • Comfortable living conditions;
  • Excellent climatic conditions.
  • Tension of Turkish-Greek relations;
  • Limited quotas for issuing grants and scholarships;
  • A small number of institutions in which they teach in Russian;
  • Employment is limited to higher schools;
  • The most real prospect of employment at the end of the university is the tourism industry.

The choice of the university is not a lung task. Sooner or later, all parents in Cyprus are puzzled by this question. Of course, you can leave to receive higher education in Germany, the United Kingdom or America. But you should not write off with bills and local universities, in whose benefits made your choice is no longer one student.

The main advantages of training in Cyprus:

  • Low cost of learning and accommodation.
  • Ability to work while studying (20 hours a week in academic weeks and 38 hours a week on vacation).
  • The opportunity to stay after receiving a diploma and work in Cyprus.
  • The ability to transfer to 2 and 3 courses of universities in other countries.
  • Excellent attitude to foreigners and, in particular, to the Russians.

Currently, Cyprus has 8 universities: three state and five private.

The most prestigious is considered the University of Cyprus (The University of Cyprus) , the bulk of whose students is Cypriots. There are practically no foreigners at the university. This is a reflection of state policies aimed at maintaining the prestige of national education: fairly high demands are presented to applicants. The university has four faculties: the Faculty of Humanitarian and public Sciences, Faculty of Philology, Faculty of Applied Sciences, as well as the Faculty of Economics and Management. Teaching in the University of Cyprus is conducted in Greek, Turkish and English.

In addition, Cyprus has private institutions and colleges who offer training programs in certain fields-secretarial business, business management, electrical engineering, civil engineering, engineering, banking, accounting, hotel business and much more.

It is necessary to approach the choice of an educational institution with caution, as often colleges are in a hurry to open new programs that have not yet passed state accreditation, and it may take longer than the course itself.

The standard age of applicants of all types of universities is 18 years old and older. The academic year begins in September and continues until June. Annual educational process is divided into two semesters: autumn (September - January) and Spring (February-May). There is also an optional (summer) semester (June-July). Training in Cyprus is carried out by a fairly flexible system: students can independently make a decision whether they will attend classes in summer, depending on the number of selected items and the intensity of the educational process.

To enroll in the college, the student must submit the IELTS certificate with the result of more than 5.5 points or the TOEFL certificate with the result from 500 points. Those who do not have the necessary number of points based on the results of the test may be trained in language courses right under college.

Foreign students, graduates of secondary schools who speak Greek or Turkish, can be enrolled in the university based on G.C.E.

or G.C.S.E., or other equivalent exams. At the same time, it is not necessary to know English at all.

Entrance exams and work contests are held only at the medical faculties and when entering faculties to obtain creative specialties. You can go to the universities in Cyprus from any semester, you only need to arrive 2-3 weeks before the start of the semester and submit the necessary documents.

Among the languages \u200b\u200bof teaching in Cyprus universities, English and Greek are widespread, some are engaged in Turkish. Further is most importantly followed by French and Russian. Basically, the Russian language is used in courses of tourist management. Today this area is popular among Russian immigrant students.

The highest school of Cyprus consists of three separate steps:

  • bachelor.
  • master
  • graduate school

Bachelor's degree Students are usually obtained for 4 years of education within the first stage higher School. Two extra years requires a master's degree. Finally, graduate school is the third stage of higher education, where specific training deadlines depend on the specialization. As a rule, graduate school students are improving knowledge for 3-6 years.

Education within the framework of the highest school in Cyprus is paid.

Accurate calculation of the cost of study, each specific university makes based on its needs and opportunities. On average, training at the State University costs 3-4 thousand euros for one academic year. Education in private colleges and universities will cost more - 5-9 thousand euros. It should be borne in mind that the amount of expenses for education is not only payment for tuition. Life in Cyprus, even if not so expensive in other countries, but still requires a minimum of 300-500 euros per month for food, travel, clothing, services and other services. Also have to pay for medical insurance about 100 euros. Thus, the cost of learning and living in Cyprus will cost about 12-15 thousand euros.

But, as a rule, the size of grants in Cypriot universities does not exceed one third of the sum of payment for training.

Meanwhile, universities and colleges are strongly limited in funds intended for financial assistance. Therefore, serious arguments are needed in order to get a grant. At undergraduate courses, these restrictions are more pronounced than in magistracy and graduate school. Moreover, such an alignment is characteristic of higher educational institutions and government, and private.

Find a residence next to the university, at an affordable price, comfortable and convenient for the student.

Student Towns - good choiceBut there are not enough places on everyone in student campuses. In addition, the cost of living in the campus is actually equal to the cost of renting a comfortable apartment of 300-500 euros per month. It should be noted that this amount is only for rent and additionally need to pay for water consumption, electricity, gas and other services.

Conditions for obtaining a visa

Cyprus actively employs two types of courses, where foreign students can receive additional education in the learning process. Immigrants are traditionally offered courses, for example, to explore Greek or English, Spanish or French, as well as Turkish. There are also popular courses in the field of tourist management.

Work to students of Cypriot universities is allowed, but there are some restrictions. So, the first six months work part-time with the studies is categorically prohibited. After this period, restrictions are removed, but only for work on the territory of student campuses. Or if the student found work outside the student town, he must receive an official permission from the university administration.
