NKUA Cyprus branch sees surge in medical school applications with 20% acceptance rate
The Cyprus branch of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA) has experienced a significant increase in application numbers, particularly for its medical school, which currently maintains a competitive acceptance rate of 20 percent. Selection was highly competitive, based on strict academic criteria, with only the highest-quality candidates securing places.
Evaluations of applications for other academic departments are ongoing, with hundreds of applicants showing strong interest across all fields. Professors at the Cyprus branch are the same as those at the Athens campus, and plans are underway to hire additional faculty exclusive to Cyprus.
The university has completed state-of-the-art facilities and laboratories, alongside newly built student dormitories offered at favorable financial conditions. The NKUA Cyprus branch, first established in downtown Nicosia in 2025, aims to remove housing barriers for students to enhance accessibility and academic success.
