Message from the Executive Dean

A Partnership for Access and Quality

The partnership between St George’s, University of London and the University of Nicosia opens up access to talented students from around the world to pursue a graduate-entry MBBS degree from one of the UK’s premier medical schools at the leading independent university of Cyprus. Such partnerships are encouraged by the European Commission through its directives on inter-university collaboration across the member states of the European Union.

St George’s 250 years of history and excellence in medical education, coupled with a dynamic and comprehensive university in Cyprus, ensure a rich learning experience for our MBBS students. The St George’s medical students in Cyprus benefit from state-of-the-art facilities and resources, including access to the e-learning resources available to all MBBS students, whether in London or in Nicosia. The innovative and student-centred curriculum allows for the early development of clinical skills and behaviours, and promotes collaborative learning, critical thinking and reflection – skills that are essential for a career in medicine.

The success of the St George’s graduate-entry curriculum, the first of its kind in the United Kingdom, has led many other medical schools around the world to create similar programmes. However, this is the first time that the St. George’s MBBS degree is delivered outside of the UK, which offers students a unique opportunity for an exciting international experience in medical education.

The University of Nicosia, built on the principles of a liberal democratic university, welcomes students from over 80 different countries and is a place where you will feel included from the very start. We look forward to welcoming you to Nicosia and to the St George’s MBBS programme.
