Student insurance
When studying abroad, ensure you have appropriate health and travel coverage. The university may have specific insurance requirements for Cyprus and/or for your programme. For details, check the Student Insurance Portal.
Work Permits
Work rights after graduation depend on the graduate’s nationality, the type of qualification completed, and the current immigration rules in Cyprus. Always verify the latest requirements with the relevant authorities and your university.
Check for any work restrictions
- In many cases, graduates may be eligible to apply for a residence permit and/or a work authorisation after completing their studies, subject to meeting eligibility criteria.
- Eligibility typically depends on factors such as having completed the programme, maintaining valid immigration status, and meeting any minimum employment or job-search conditions set by the authorities.
- Some pathways may require you to secure a job offer, while others may allow a period to search for employment—rules can change, so confirm the current process.
- If your programme includes an internship or placement, this does not automatically guarantee post-study work eligibility.
