Mission and Vision
The CIU Institute of Graduate Studies and Research aims to be a pioneer in postgraduate education. For this reason, it is one of our most important goals to increase scientific research, publications and projects within the framework of the Institute's programs. Our institute has embraced itself as a vision to prepare our graduate students fully equipped for academic and business life.
EDUCATION OPPORTUNITES
The Institute of Graduate Studies and Research has a diverse culture and knowledge level because it has graduate students from 110 different countries. In addition to student diversity, the diversity of international teaching staff can also reveal the difference. As education and research can be carried out in an international environment, the development of different technologies, cultures, knowledge, communication skills and human accessibility can be facilitated. At the same time, high quality, professional and practical training can be provided with investments in laboratories, buildings, smart boards and libraries which Cyprus International University has made. As a result of the publication of the articles in the journals such as SSCI, SCI-Expanded and AHCI lists required for the graduation of the Ph.D. students, the quality of the research-oriented studies is also increasing considerably.
