Admission Process

Our dedicated Admissions Team will guide you every step of the way by answering all of your questions, helping you choose a program of study and starting your EUC experience with a virtual or actual campus tour.

Scholarships and Financial Aid

Our Scholarship and Financial Aid program aims to provide prospective and enrolled students with information and resources to financially support your educational goals. This takes the form of academic scholarships, athletics scholarships and family
eed-based financial aid.

Student Housing

Our student accommodation units are located only minutes from campus and are designed to offer students high quality living spaces in elegant studios and one-bedroom flats supported by great social spaces, in-house gym, laundry rooms and 24–hour security service.

International Standards

The program is in line with the requirements of international professional bodies such as the European Federation of the Association of Dietitians (EFAD), the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics in the US and the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) of the UK.

Practical Training

An important element of the Nutrition and Dietetics degree is the practical training that students experience throughout their studies. Complementary to the clinical training students gain at the university's laboratories, the strength of the program comes from its extensive internship opportunities with more than 23 different sectors such as hospitals, health centers, municipal health centers, nursing homes, camps, sports federations, gyms, nurseries, schools and food industries.

Diet Design

An integral component of the program curriculum is the practical application of knowledge through the development of nutritional plans and diets, covering a wide range of physiological and clinical incidents. This gives students a significant occupational advantage and facilitates their integration into the labor market.

Nutrition Software

The competitive advantage of the program is the training of students in specialized nutrition software. More specifically, the software provides students the ability to analyze the nutritional plans (diets) in a modern computer lab. This allows the verification of a dietary instruction before its practical application.

Registration at Council

Graduates of the Nutrition and Dietetics program are eligible to register with the Food Technologists, Nutritionists and Dieticians Registration Council and the Cyprus Association of Dietitians and Nutritionists.
