Study in Cyprus
Cyprus has a strong educational system in place that begins with primary and secondary school.
Both private schools and public schools are available. According to some resources, as much as
seven percent of the country's GDP is spent on education. This makes it one of the top three
spenders in education in the world, behind Denmark and Sweden. Both state and private schools
are considered equal, with neither offering a better educational opportunity every time.
Like in Greece, high school grades are not considered important for those students enrolling in
university programs. Though a diploma is a requirement, students will take admission based testing
to determine if the student can study at the school and, if so, what level of courses he or she needs
to take. All university candidates, including international individuals, will need to take this type of
testing before entering into university here.
