English Language Requirements
EU nationals
The adequacy of English language proficiency of EU nationals for attending undergraduate and graduate programs at UoL is established through the UoL placement test. Candidates with English language deficiencies can start their studies while strengthening their knowledge of the language for academic purposes by taking the UoL Remedial English course (ESL2 and/or ESL3, depending on their placement test score).
Nationals of non-EU countries*
For both undergraduate and graduate programs taught in English a “Very Good Knowledge” of English is required at upper level B1 of the Council of Europe’s Common European Framework of Reference, evidenced by an upper level B1 score or higher in one of the approved by the Council of Ministers International English Language Tests listed in the table.
*Nationals of Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, UK, USA, and Canada (for Canada only graduates of institutions with English instruction).
Nationals of the above listed countries, whose mother tongue is English, do not need to present a certificate of success in international examinations, or take the placement test.
*Please note that these are the absolute minimum entry requirements for entering the country as specified by the Cyprus Ministry of Education, Sport and Youth.
For individual entry requirements for each program, please consult the admissions office at international.admissions@uol.ac.cy
Foundation Course for Learning English Language
The UoL English Language Foundation Course prepares non-EU international students with lower-level B1 language skills (e.g., IELTS 4.0) to reach upper-level B1 or higher (e.g., IELTS 5.0). It focuses on listening, speaking, reading, writing, academic, and communication skills. Offered onsite and online for one academic year, students must pass an approved exam. Failure in Cyprus means no repeat, and candidates who don’t meet requirements should apply for the course.
