Review courses and prerequisites

Psychology Research Experience

Investigate a behavioral or psychosocial question through a structured, faculty-guided undergraduate project. Students frame a manageable question, consider research ethics, work with structured response data, interpret results carefully, and communicate findings in an academic poster.

  • Strengthen research design and evidence-based reasoning
  • Explain results, limitations, and ethical considerations
  • Complete an undergraduate academic project—not clinical training or patient care

Live in the city. Study on the Riviera.

Students live with other program participants in furnished and equipped shared apartments in central Athens, selected for metro access. Classes take place at UNIC Athens in Elliniko at The Ellinikon, with a direct metro connection to the center of the city.

  • Central Athens shared-apartment housing
  • Modern UNIC Athens learning environment
  • Pre-departure advising and in-country orientation
  • On-site support and 24/7 emergency assistance
  • Designated group-arrival airport pickup

Learning beyond the classroom

Included cultural activities and in-country excursions extend the semester into Athens, the Riviera, and other parts of Greece. Final activities and destinations are confirmed closer to departure and may vary.

Ancient + modern Athens

Explore sites and neighborhoods that may include the Acropolis, Ancient Agora, Panathenaic Stadium, Plaka, and Monastiraki.

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 such as Nafplio and Epidaurus.

A full, credit-bearing semester

The program carries 30 ECTS across five 6-ECTS courses and is typically evaluated as 15 U.S. semester credits. 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 before departure.
