Please don't derail the conversation to other matters.

To the person that said that in private universities you're paying to get a degree, keep in mind (for what it's worth) that for master degrees you pay in public universities as well.

You didn't understand the meaning of "paying to get a degree". It means you buy it, literally. But if that's what you want, go ahead!

Usually the students enrolling in private universities in Cyprus are those that have failed to pass the entrance exams for the public u. That's how it works in Cyprus.

I don't have any benefit in discouraging you to enroll in a private u. in Cyprus, I am just stating well known facts.

Anyway, good luck!

Hmmm, tuition fees for Frederick University are 10.250 euros ofr the course while for British Universities they're in the 5k range.... I wonder why.

On the surface .... undergraduate courses appear good value for money in UK Universities (for EU students) ... but appalling for postgraduate courses. Too many supervisors see postgraduate tuition as a chance to skive off from their supervisory roles and let the student sink or swim ...

In particular, I have seen the fall-out with too many GC and Greek students who come to the UK to further their Engineering or Maths degrees and find they know more than the supervisor ... a power struggle ensues and the GC/ Greek student is left floundering on his own ... or worse, helping bring up to scratch poorly-prepared British students ...

I agree, I wouldn't bother to study in the UK.

But, there are other options, e.g. Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Benelux, and Scandinavian countries, which have outstanding programs in Science & Engineering.

And most post-graduate programs are completely FREE OF CHARGE for EU citizens! Believe it or not!

Yes, most post-graduate programs are in english.

attention all international students planing to come to Cyprus,pls don't cos its not the right place.don't believe all you read on all those websites of the universities and colleges in Cyprus.u will meet the opposite.Cyprus is only good for European students not 3rd country nationals.all the schs want is yr money and wont care abt yr welfare in Cyprus.you can never work legally if u are not a student from EU.international students from outside EU are only permitted to work farms and other areas that Cypriot nationals don't want.pls think before u make a move,Cyprus is not a place for u if u are coming from Africa or if u are not from a rich family.the colleges will tell u,u r allowed to work 20hrs a week.but don't be deceived its only for manual work on their farms.Cyprus is the only country in EU that respects asylum seekers than international students
