The first thing you notice about the MD programme is its clear structure. At first, the programme introduces you to the basic medical courses and then it gradually emphasizes in clinical skills. In addition, there are laboratory, practical and tutorial sessions for almost every course so the knowledge that someone acquires does not stay at theoretical levels only. Moreover, the environment that the University provides is one of a kind. The friendly staff and the caring professors put a smile on your face no matter the circumstances. Overall, the MD programme at the University of Nicosia is an exceptional programme, which provides the best material, equipment and environment that students can ask for. If medicine is your choice of study, then this programme can be a life-changing opportunity.

The MD programme is extremely organised. It is really easy for international students to adapt because we get a lot of support from all the school’s staff. One of the biggest pros of the programme is the wide range of nationalities and cultures because students come from all over the world. Here I can experience an adventure, expand my horizons and meet new people from different backgrounds who are driven and strive for the same goal: to help people.

Dr Constantina ConstantinouMD Programme Director

It will be a great pleasure to welcome you to the Doctor of Medicine (MD) Programme in September.

Merging tradition with innovation

The MD programme consists of three phases – Phase I: Basic Sciences, Phase II: Integrated Studies (Basic and Clinical Sciences) and Phase III: Clinical Studies. Students on the MD Programme develop a very strong background in the basic sciences during the first four years on the programme. A valuable quality of the programme is that the curriculum has been enriched with courses in social sciences such as medical psychology, medical ethics and medical sociology. The innovation in the programme is evident in the development of the Integrated Clinical Practice Courses in Years 2-4. In these courses students are trained in clinical and communication skills and attend clinical placements in hospitals (starting from Year 2). The curriculum of the programme has been designed with the aim to encourage students to practise medicine holistically, encompassing ethical, legal, psychological and social considerations.

Multiple teaching and learning methods

Students on the MD Programme are exposed to a variety of teaching and learning methods. Lectures, small group tutorials, case-based learning, laboratory practicals, workshops, and visits to laboratories and hospitals are all used from Year 1 of the programme. Students carry out

their clinical practice during the second semester of Year 4 and throughout Years 5 and 6. The different teaching and learning methods aim to meet different students’ learning styles. Our goal is to help our students develop the multiple skills required for good medical practice.

A high quality programme

The MD Programme has been quality approved by the Cyprus Ministry of Education & Culture. Assessment in the MD Programme is aimed at evaluating the students’ professionalism, academic knowledge and skills. The curriculum is mapped to the topics of the United State Medical Licencing Exam Step-1, and our students need to pass the USMLE Step 1 Exam to progress from Year 4 to Year 5 (from Phase II to Phase III). The USMLE exam is an international benchmark that ensures the offering of a high-quality programme that meets the highest global standards.

A student-centred programme

We consider communication with our students essential to maintain our high quality. Students in the MD Programme receive continuous support from faculty members, their personal tutor and a variety of Student Support Services.

Our ultimate goal is to exceed our students’ expectations and to produce highly competent and caring physicians.

We look forward to welcoming you to the MD Programme!

To progress from Phase II to Phase III, students must pass the United States Medical Licensing Examination Step 1, as outlined overleaf.

The programme uses a number of teaching methods including lectures, small group tutorials, communication skills tutorials, role-playing, clinical skills tutorials, case-based learning, large group discussions, laboratory practicals, clinical placements, community placements and independent learning.

Students gain clinical experience early on in the curriculum starting with clinical placements in Year 2. Clinical placements in Years 5 and 6 are at teaching hospitals in Cyprus or the UK.

Career ProspectsGraduates who are from one of the 30 countries that constitute the European Economic Area will be eligible to apply for registration with the Cyprus Medical Council in order to proceed with Residency applications in Cyprus or another EEA country. In order to be registered, applicants must additionally have Greek language proficiency at the B2 level of the Common European Framework for language learning, teaching and assessment. The Medical School provides free-of-charge Greek language lessons to support students with this.

To practice in countries outside of the EAA, graduates will need to meet any other requirements of the country in which they apply for licensure. Your Admissions Advisor will be able to provide further information to guide you on this.

CurriculumThe programme is structured around 12 academic semesters over a period of 6 years. In each semester students are required to take 30 ECTS credits, completing 360 ECTS credits after 12 semesters of full-time tuition.

The programme is divided into three Phases:

Phase I

During Phase I (years 1-3) students gain knowledge in the basic medical sciences: general chemistry, organic chemistry, physics, biology, anatomy, histology, biochemistry, physiology, genetics, microbiology and virology, immunology, pharmacology, medical genetics, general pathology, medical sociology, medical psychology, medical ethics, research methods in medicine and essential medical statistics. Students also take courses in integrated clinical practice where they develop the important clinical and communications skills required for medicine. Under supervision, students will have the opportunity to meet selected patients in local hospitals and clinics to practise these basic skills.

Phase II

During the first semester of Phase II (year 4) students take courses in haematology, systematic pharmacology, epidemiology and public health, and clinical pathophysiology. They also carry out a research project. In the second semester of Phase II the students take a course in integrated clinical practice in which they build on the clinical and communication skills they developed during the previous years. The students will visit local hospitals, clinics and the

community to further practise the skills they have learnt and gain first-hand experience of how medicine is practised in these settings. Students take part in clinical attachments in medicine, surgery and primary care.

Progressing from Phase II to Phase III

In order to progress from Phase II to Phase III, the students in the MD Programme will have to pass the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) Step 1.

The University of Nicosia Medical School provides the students in the MD Programme with the opportunity to take USMLE Step 1 Practice Tests which are offered through the National Board of Medical Examiners. The questions in these practice tests are derived from the USMLE Bank of Questions, which is used to generate the official USMLE Step 1 Examination.

Taking the USMLE is also the first part of the process of becoming a physician in the United States.

Phase III

The objectives of Phase III (years 5 and 6) are to provide students with extensive experience in the clinical environment, mainly in hospitals but also in the community, so that they can utilise their learning over the previous 4 years to practise their clinical, communication, diagnostic and reasoning skills on real patients, and to learn about the management of patients, from a medical, therapeutic, surgical, psychosocial and caring perspective.

Students take part in clinical attachments in Cardiology, Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery, Respiratory Medicine, Thoracic Surgery and Breast Surgery, Gastroenterology and GI Surgery, Nephrology, Urology and Transplant Surgery, Rheumatology and Dermatology/Plastic Surgery, Neurology, Neurosurgery and Palliative Care, Psychiatry, Paediatrics, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Internal Medicine, General Surgery, Emergency Medicine and Intensive Care, Orthopaedics, Otorhinolaryngology & Ophthalmology, Therapeutics and Prescribing, General Practice and Geriatric Medicine.

Students also do a Clinical Attachment Elective, spending six weeks on a chosen activity or medical specialty of their choice. Students are encouraged to broaden their experiences by undertaking their elective in a different environment. This includes the option of going abroad for their elective.

During Phase III, students remaining in Cyprus for clinical training will need an appropriate knowledge of Greek so that they can better communicate with patients. The Medical School provides free Greek-language lessons during the first 4 years of the course to prepare students for this requirement.

Facilities The Medical School is housed in modern new facilities featuring the latest technology, including state-of-the-art anatomy centre and clinical skills laboratories.

Students benefit from a Gross Anatomy Laboratory, a Clinical Skills Laboratory, readily available resources for Histology and Histopathology, a Human Performance Lab, a number of Microbiology/Molecular Biology Labs, Human Nutrition Labs and Physiotherapy Labs.

Anatomy CentreHuman cadavers are used to teach anatomy because we believe this adds value to our students’ medical education. We also have a very large collection of realistic anatomy models, bones, clinically-orientated anatomy guides, a video projector screen and sound system for educational and training videos, and other useful teaching aids such as anatomy atlases and dissecting guides.

Anatomy teaching comprises small-group learning that is facilitated by anatomy demonstrators who help the students connect clinically relevant topics with anatomical structures. This method encourages a deep approach to learning anatomy that the students will carry with them throughout their careers. In addition, the adjacent histology laboratory has been equipped with the necessary resources that support a small-group learning model.

The University of Nicosia Medical School is an established examination centre for the Royal College of Surgeons of England. This offers an advantage for our alumni who wish to advance their surgical careers.

Clinical Skills Laboratory The clinical skills laboratory is another place where students learn in small groups. During clinical skills sessions, students work with realistic models and manikins, as well as both simulated and real patients. They develop bedside communication techniques that will enhance the students’ abilities and clinical knowledge as they evolve into the doctors of tomorrow. The teaching is structured in a way that allows medical students to build their clinical knowledge and skills as they progress to examining real patients during their clinical placements.

About Cyprus Cyprus is situated in the north-eastern corner of the Mediterranean, at the meeting point of Europe, Asia and Africa. Since the dawn of history, Cyprus has been one of the most interesting areas of the region, with a rich and visible cultural history. Ancient Greeks, Egyptians and Romans, along with Crusaders, Byzantines, Franks and Ottomans have all left a powerful legacy for the modern visitor to see and admire.

Cyprus is ranked the safest country in the world for people aged 15 to 29 by the World Health Organization, and its people are famous for the warm and friendly welcome they extend to visitors. The combination of a multicultural population, modern infrastructure, reasonable cost of living, rich history and a beautiful natural environment makes it an ideal place to study.

The island is endowed with golden beaches, virgin green forests and other natural wonders, and the environment is one of the healthiest in the world.

Like Singapore and Hong Kong, Cyprus is an important financial and business centre, with over 70% of the economy focused on services. The main industries in Cyprus are financial and professional services, banking, investment management, shipping, tourism and real estate.

"Coming all the way from Iceland, I think it’s wonderful to live in a country where there is almost always sun and good weather. It makes it really easy to wake up in the morning and go to school, and it also lightens your mood. Cyprus is a very relaxed environment. From my first day here, the people of Cyprus have been really warm and welcoming. That’s why I felt immediately at home."

In addition to offering a world-class education

to students, veterinarians will be offered

opportunities for continuous professional

development and farmers will be provided with

modern tools and knowledge required to

maintain competitive farming units in a rapidly

changing commercial environment.

In our commitment to the One Health agenda,

we will work closely with all stakeholders to

improve the public’s awareness of animal

rights and to protect and preserve a healthy

criteria.”

Professor Andreas

Charalambous,

ecosystem, which will safeguard the health of

both animals and humans."

Professor Stavros Malas,

Foundation Chair for the Veterinary School

"The RVC is delighted to be

establishing a partnership with

our colleagues in Cyprus and to

contribute to the advance of

animal health expertise in the

region.

We have a strong commitment to

the One Health approach and

together I am sure we can build

on the success of the University

of Nicosia’s Medical School to

create an exceptional new

veterinary programme."

Professor Stuart Reid CBE,

Principal of the RVC

"The agreement and the new joint

venture is in line with the

University’s strategy for

internationalization and for offering

a world-class education. We are

honoured and delighted that RVC

is now a partner university of the

University of Nicosia.

The new programmes, underlying

research and the expected

significant contribution to society

will further support the University

of Nicosia’s teaching, research

and internationalization

objectives."

Professor Philippos Pouyioutas,

Rector of the University of Nicosia
