About Us:

 

The Cyprus University of Technology aspires to develop itself into a modern, pioneering University able to offer education and high level research in leading branches of science and technology which have high impact on the economic, technical, and scientific sectors. With its orientation towards applied research, the University aspires to establish for itself a role in support of the state and society in their efforts to confront problems, which cover all areas of science and technology. The programmes of the CUT to a large extent complement scientific areas, which are not currently covered at Undergraduate and Postgraduate levels by the University of Cyprus or any other institution of higher education in the country. The Cyprus University of Technology was founded by law on December 2003 and welcomed its first students on September 2007. The Cyprus University of Technology is based at the city of Limassol, where four out of five faculties are located. The Faculty of Health Sciences, which includes the Department of Nursing, is located in Nicosia.

 

University Campus:

 

With the exception of the Faculty of Health Sciences which is located within the Nicosia General Hospital complex, in Nicosia, the remaining four Faculties are located in the city centre of Lemessos (Limassol). For the first out of three phases of its operation, covering the period 2007-2013, the buildings of the University will be located within the old city centre. Old government buildings given to the University have been renovated but in order to cover the remaining needs other buildings in the vicinity have been rented and a number re-modified in order to house laboratories, lecture rooms as well as offices. During the second phase (2014-2020) the University campus will expand to an area of approximately 50,000m2, within the city centre, about seven minutes walking distance from the old city centre. The University Campus Master Plan envisages that until 2020 the number of students will steadily grow to 7000- 8000, with 5-7 Faculties and 21-28 departments. The Master Plan development aims to satisfy all the needs of the University. Student hostels are currently being set-up within walking distance from both areas planned to house the University.

 

Academic and Teaching Staff:

 

The Academic and Teaching Staff are selected by electoral boards, which are made up of Cypriot and non-Cypriot academics from at least three different countries. The procedure of electing Academic and Teaching Staff is continuing. The minimum academic qualification for the Academic and Teaching Staff is a Ph. D and the ability to teach and conduct research in a university environment. The academics who have already been elected have distinguished academic achievements and lecturing experience at Universities and higher educational institutions in Cyprus and abroad. Teaching needs of the University are also covered through a system of visiting professors, special scientists, and special teaching personnel. According to the University rules, independent lecturing of a class is assigned only to academics who hold a Ph. D degree.
