Placement Program for students
 
 
Looking to build your skills and experience?  Placements are a great way to explore your career ideas, and acquire new sought-after skills.

One in three students is offered a full time position after the completion of their placement. The experience gained during the placement as well as the opportunity for professional development are greatly valued by employers. We offer a wide range of  placement opportunities in companies and organisations in Cyprus and beyond, enabling students to gain valuable work knowledge in their field of work, but mainly providing the opportunity to shape and improve their professional skills.

At UCY, a  large number of our programs of study have included placements in their curricula (with ECTS). However, the Career Centre offers the opportunity to students from all Departments to apply for an internship/placement via its platform
