Overview
About MIU
Mediterranean International University has taught in English since it opened, and roughly two in five of its students come from outside Cyprus. Its core strengths are business and management, computing and data, and psychology — subjects where it has built consistent industry links across Nicosia's professional services and technology sectors.
The campus is compact and largely self-contained, with teaching, library, laboratories and student services within a few minutes' walk. Class sizes are deliberately kept modest, and most programmes include a project or placement component in the final year.
- CYQAA accredited
- ECTS credit system
- Bologna Process aligned
Accredited by the Cyprus Agency of Quality Assurance and Accreditation in Higher Education

Scholarships
Merit scholarships of 10–40% of tuition are assessed automatically on academic results when an application is reviewed; no separate form is needed. Continuation into later years depends on maintaining the stated grade average. Awards are confirmed in the offer letter.
Scholarship awards are decided by the university on the basis of your application. No agency can promise one in advance.
On campus

Around forty active societies covering academic subjects, sport, culture and volunteering. The international office runs an orientation week each intake, along with trips and a peer-mentoring scheme pairing new arrivals with continuing students.
