Cyprus's universities, district by district — from Wikidata, not CYQAA.
The Republic of Cyprus has three public universities and a group of private universities, most in Nicosia and Limassol, many teaching in English as well as Greek. This directory lists 10 from Wikidata.
Not an official list
This list comes from Wikidata, a community-maintained database (retrieved 2026-10-22) — not from the country's regulator. It may include institutions that have closed, merged or been renamed, or that have lost or never had official recognition, and it may miss others. We leave out entries Wikidata marks as dissolved or closed, but that filter is only as up to date as Wikidata. Only institutions whose name calls them a university are listed, so recognised colleges and degree-awarding institutes are missing. Being listed here is not proof of accreditation.
Before you apply, check with the Cyprus Agency of Quality Assurance and Accreditation in Higher Education (CYQAA) and the Ministry of Education, Sport and Youth. (Links checked on 22 October 2026.)
Institutions in the northern part of Cyprus, which is not under the control of the Government of the Republic of Cyprus, are not listed.

What isn't here, and why
Cyprus's universities are established or licensed under national law and their programmes are accredited by CYQAA, but we found no official list of institutions that we could republish, so this page is built from Wikidata.
This list is from Wikidata, a community-maintained source — retrieved 2026-10-22. A university missing here is a gap in that source, not a judgement about the university, and being listed here is not proof of accreditation: check with the national regulator. Public or private status is shown only where Wikidata records it (4 of 10).
