Cyprus 2016/17 - beginning and end of the academic year

Beginning of the academic year

Public universities in Cyprus are autonomous as regards to their modus operandi and their schedules are determined by the universities themselves. The beginning of the academic year usually occurs between 1 and 15 September. (In the academic year 2016/17, at the UCY and CUT, classes start on 5 September, whereas OUC’s first student-tutor communication takes place in the first week of October.)
