The Embassy of the Czech Republic in Cyprus held an event at the Resident of the Ambassador on October 2, to celebrate and reunite Cypriots who have studied in the Czech Republic (or former Czechoslovakia).
Among the attendees were also vice deans of top Czech universities, as well as esteemed guests from Cypriot universities.
The tradition of Cypriot students studying in the Czech Republic (that time Czechoslovakia) started nearly 50 years ago, in the second half of the 1970s of the last century. Since then the number of students has gradually increased up to today approximately 200 students a year.
Many young Cypriots studying at Czech Universities were inspired by recommendations from their parents, who also earned a degree in the Czech Republic and praised the local high standards of education.
Among many programmes in English students of medicine and veterinary medicine prevail but there is a growing interest in pharmacy, engineering, IT, social sciences, and other fields of study, which the Embassy promotes.
The Czech Republic is a popular study destination for Cypriot students because of its cultural similarity, making it easier to adapt to Czech customs. The Czech Republic is renowned globally for its top-tier education, offering degrees in several programs such as medicine, engineering, humanities, business and social sciences. Moreover, Czechia offers cutting-edge research facilities, including laboratories and collaboration opportunities. By studying in Czech universities, Cypriot students can acquire an education recognized worldwide in their preferred fields, while enjoying a relatively cheaper education and living expenses in the Czech Republic than in other European countries.
“By today’s event, the Czech Embassy wants not only to reunite former Cypriot students but also to contribute to spreading the great reputation of Czech Universities and attracting new Cypriot students to study in the Czech Republic to be successful in their future careers,” the Embassy said in a statement.
“As a Cypriot student, ensuring that your target institutions abroad would accept your foreign qualifications and credentials is essential. Apart from the university fees, you must also evaluate the living expenses and compare them with your available budget. Based on these financial costs, you could explore scholarships to make education abroad more manageable. It is also essential to consider the distance between your home country and the study destination, especially if you prefer being closer to home for easier travel. However, assessing cultural and language similarities is a good way to facilitate social integration if you’re studying farther away from home,” it added.
