In this section, we tell you about the locations of the institution and some of the most convenient neighbourhoods to consider for living near it.

Where is the University of Cyprus located?

Its faculties and departments are spread across different campuses and buildings in the city of Nicosia. The most important ones are:

New Campus

This is the main campus of the institution and the only one where the buildings are arranged in a specific complex. This campus is located in the suburb of Aglantzia, a few kilometres from Nicosia, south of the centre.

Most faculties, administrative offices, libraries, research centres and student residences of the university are located here. It is also worth noting that this is where classes for most exchange programs are taught.

Among the faculties based in the New Campus are:

  • Faculty of Pure and Applied Sciences (FPAS): It includes the departments of Biological Sciences, Mathematics and Statistics, Computer Science, Physics and Chemistry.
  • Faculty of Economics and Administration (FEM): It has the departments of Economics, Management, Accounting and Finance, Social and Political Sciences, Law, French Studies and Modern Languages.

Lykabittos Campus - Central Facilities

Many of the institution's facilities, such as a library and some deaneries, are on this campus. It is located in the Lykabittos neighbourhood, very close to the old town and next to the Alsos forest. The departments that give classes here include:

  • History and Archaeology (FL)
  • English Studies (FH)
  • Education (FSSE)
  • Psychology (FSSE)

Close to this campus are buildings that house other departments and faculties of the institution, including:

  • Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering (MME-FE)
  • Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE-FE)

Best neighbourhoods to live in near UCY

Lykabittos

Student residences near UCY
