“The facilities and laboratories have been completed with state-of-the-art equipment and are located in the heart of Nicosia’s Old City, breathing new life into a historic part of the Cypriot capital,” states the University of Athens.
At the same time, it notes that “special care has been taken by the University, in collaboration with local organizations and the Municipality of Nicosia, to facilitate student life.”
“Access to newly built student dormitories has been secured, on highly favorable financial terms, so that finding housing does not pose an additional obstacle for students and their families. At the same time, arrangements have been made to provide meals to students on particularly favorable terms, thereby substantially strengthening the overall support framework for the student community,” the announcement states.
