Study English in Cyprus

Cyprus

Cyprus is a beautiful island in the Mediterranean, home to a rich culture built on its long and varied history. With a temperate climate year-round and stunning beaches, landscapes, and cities, it is no wonder this is a major tourist destination. The island is unique in that it is split down the middle: the southern two-thirds of the island is Greek, while the northern third is run by Turkey. The island’s capital, Nicosia, sees these cultures come together and coexist, as it falls on the border and is split equally between the two. The third most-populous island in the Mediterranean, Cyprus is home to a variety of cultures, sites, and institutes that make it a premier destination for students.

While it might not be the first place that comes to mind when students think of learning English abroad, Cyprus is actually an ideal destination to take your studies. The country was under British rule from 1878, becoming a colony of the empire in 1925. English was the official language of the island until it gained its independence in 1960. Even then, it was still used in courts of law until 1989.

Over 80% of the Cypriot population are proficient in English, despite the fact the Greek and Turkish are the official languages of the divided island. In fact, interest in the English language in Cyprus has increased since it joined the EU in 2004, making it an ideal destination for students to travel in search of English-language programs.
