THE SCHOOL OF MODERN GREEK OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CYPRUS ACCEPTS APPLICATIONS FOR THE INTENSIVE 2016 SUMMER COURSES - Application and Information can be found below.

* IMPORTANT NOTE: The so-called "universities" operating in the area of the Republic of Cyprus, which remains under Turkish military occupation since 1974, do not comply with the relevant laws and regulations of the Republic of Cyprus relating to High and Higher education. Therefore, these establishments and their "degrees" are not recognized by the Republic of Cyprus, since they are operating under the "laws" of the so-called "turkish republic of northern cyprus", which, in accordance with the relevant UN Security Council resolutions and international law is an illegal secessionist entity, not recognized by the international community, with the sole exception of Turkey.

Turkey invaded the Republic of Cyprus in 1974 and 36.2% of the island has ever since been illegally occupied by the Turkish Army. The occupied area was unilaterally and illegally declared an independent state, under the name “turkish republic of northern cyprus” (“trnc”) in November 1983. This secessionist act was condemned by the UN in Security Council resolutions 541 (1983) and 550 (1984).

Persons, institutions and organizations, considering cooperation with any of the so-called “educational entities” operating illegally in the occupied area of Cyprus, are strongly advised to take in to account the above-mentioned facts.
