University of Nicosia thrown out of ICOGRADA!

How can we solve it? (keep it civilized)

I agree with Pyr on this. The private collages (now called universities) are not in the same league with the public ones. Some courses offered by them are fine but in general they are not as good. I have friends that study in Frederick and others who recently studied at Intercollege (now called University of Nicosia). If you want to study in English then better go to England or USA.

Better ask your self why you're making assumptions and a complete dick of your self! :lol:


What assumptions am I making?
Tell me now the level of the students at the REAL university is the same as that of the rest! Miles away...

The University of Cyprus is a Greek-language university (Modern Greek is a prerequisite) and thus has ties with Greek institutions, whereas at the rest you can study in English and have ties with US, English, and Australian institutions!

No you tell me which one is shitty! :lol:


Have you ever visited the Library of the UoC? Have you ever seen a thesis made by a student of the UoC and what references is it using? Have you ever seen the syllabus of a course and the depth at which foreign languages (including English) are a prerequisite? Have you ever seen the list of reference books each professor at the UoC suggests for his/her course?

You may imagine that the UoC is closely attached to the Greek ones, you are absolutely wrong.

If you think English is the ultimate language and source of scientific knowledge then consider that within the EU it is not, it comes second after German!!

Furthermore how many state Universities do you know which use a foreign language as their official one?

I was always under the impression UoC was a relatively high standard institution.
world ranking 564

The ranking is based upon an algorithm including three unbiased and independent web metrics extracted from three different search engines:

* Google Page Rank
* Yahoo Inbound Links
* Alexa Traffic Rank

Regardless 564 in 10200 ain't bad even based on the above criteria, no?

Back to the main point now, just for the info of the forum, a few TCs that I know didn't want their children to enroll at the Eastern Mediterranean Uni. The reason was they consider it be dominated by Arabs and Jews.So they preferred sending their children to mainland Turkish Universities.
Don't know to what extend that might be true, could a TC enlighten us?
