Interdisciplinary studies give students the flexibility to create a program or major that draws from multiple fields of study. Often, these programs are organized around a particular theme, question, or research topic that interests the student.

Higher education in Cyprus is conducted in the five common international languages namely English, French, Portuguese, Turkish, Greek and Chinese. This has solved issues of language barriers in these higher education institutions enabling even international students to seek the country’s higher education.

Requirements for the PhD program often involve the student having already obtained a Master’s degree. Additionally, a thesis or dissertation primarily consisting of original academic research must be submitted. In some countries, this work may even need to be defended in front of a panel.

Part time learning allows one to obtain part-time degrees even if one cannot attend school on a full-time basis. One can learn at his or own pace, gradually accumulating credits which count towards final qualification.
