When to Apply

Frederick University academic year consists of the fall and spring semesters. The calendar is arranged so that students may start classes either during the last week of September or the first week of February. Candidates may submit an application for admission in any of the semesters. Due to the fact that formalities for the issue of an entry visa take at least 6 weeks, candidates are urged to file an application at least 8 weeks prior to the expected date of enrolment. Students are expected to be on campus prior to the beginning of the intended semester/session. In response to arising need, courses could be provided within the summer period.

Personal Interviews

Personal interviews are not normally required as part of the admission process; however, Frederick University reserves the right to request an interview before making a final decision on accepting an applicant.

What to submit

Under the immigration regulations, and depending on their nationality, applicants should follow the relevant procedure and submit the required documents as described below:

A. Nationals of EU countries
Candidates who are nationals of EU countries can enter Cyprus as visitors. On arrival at Frederick University they must submit to the Admission Office the following:

1. A fully completed application form.
2. An application fee of Euro 25 (non-refundable).
3. Attested (certified true) copies of their academic qualifications.
4. Evidence of proficiency in English, (if available).
5. A photocopy of their passport. The passport should be valid for at least one year from the date of their arrival to Cyprus.
6. A recent certificate of good conduct issued by the police of the candidate's country of origin or residence, if necessary translated in Greek or English. The good conduct certificate should be original and issued less than 6 months prior to the beginning of the semester for which the student is applying. The names and titles of the persons issuing and certifying the document should be clearly stated therein.

Furthermore, they must pay the registration fee, the semester tuition fees, and register for subjects. Next they must apply to the Migration Department for a temporary residence permit. The application to the Migration Department must be supported by evidence that they have paid their tuition fees for the semester, have enough funds for their initial living expenses and have obtained local health insurance coverage.

B. Applicants from non EU countries
International Students from non EU countries need to have a valid student visa in order to be allowed to enter Cyprus. The issue of an entry visa takes about 6 weeks from the date of the submission of the application. It is therefore recommended that candidates submit their application at least 8 weeks before the beginning of the semester. Cyprus Migration Department requirements in respect of the issue of a student visa, which from time to time may be modified, are available to candidates in a separate document.

Applicants are requested to contact the Office of Admissions to receive information and guidance regarding the proper documentation and formalities to be followed.

Enrolment

Candidates who receive a firm or conditional offer of admission on a program are requested to sign and forward to Frederick University the acceptance letter. A candidate having signed the acceptance letter is deemed to have agreed to abide by the rules and regulations of the University. If the offer is conditional upon obtaining further educational qualifications, candidates should forward the relevant documents to the University as soon as the anticipated qualifications are obtained. The amount paid as international student guarantee will be returned to the student after the completion of his/her studies and/or on final withdrawal and permanent departure from Cyprus.
