Learning beyond the classroom

All three programs combine university study with a thoughtfully designed cultural experience in Athens and beyond. Final activities and destinations are confirmed closer to departure and may vary.

Ancient + modern Athens

Experience the Acropolis, Ancient Agora, Panathenaic Stadium, Plaka, Monastiraki, and the neighborhoods and public spaces of a living European capital.

The Athens Riviera

Connect campus life with southern Greece through coastal experiences that may include Glyfada, Vouliagmeni, and Cape Sounion.

Islands + mainland Greece

Program travel may include a Saronic Gulf island and a mainland experience, extending learning into Greece's landscapes, communities, and cultural traditions.

A full, credit-bearing semester

Each program carries 30 ECTS across five 6-ECTS courses and is typically evaluated as 15 U.S. semester credits. Courses are taught in English, and an official University of Nicosia transcript is issued for successfully completed coursework. Your home institution makes the final decision about transfer credit and degree applicability, so seek written approval for preferred and backup courses before departure.
