Message from the Course Director

All of us who had worked hard for the launch of the medical programme were very proud indeed to be able to welcome the first cohort of students to the new Medical School in Nicosia in September 2011. The University of Nicosia had laid the foundations for a medical school by developing an array of health and life science programmes and in doing so created a strong academic infrastructure including development of faculty,  research and facilities to support this prospect. The partnership with St George’s, University of London made it possible to bring to Cyprus the prestigious and innovative MBBS graduate entry programme which enjoys international academic and professional recognition and an outstanding international reputation.

Our system based core curriculum, which integrates scientific and clinical aspects from the outset, enhances the students’ learning experience and equips them for a lifetime of good medical practice. Our students have benefited from state of the art facilities, such as Anatomy and Clinical Skills laboratories, and the commitment and dedication of faculty and staff. Moreover, the excellent collaborative working relationships with our London-based colleagues and compelling team work approach ensure optimal management of the shared curriculum.

I look forward to welcoming you to Nicosia and to the programme.
