“As a very young university, only 15 years old, our steady rise in international rankings is proof that with vision, cooperation, and consistency, we can achieve a great deal. We do not view rankings as an end in themselves, but as a reflection of the quality of our work and its impact on students, society, and Cyprus. Our intensive and systematic efforts will continue, and we are confident that we will climb even higher in the coming years.”

The Webometrics ranking evaluates the visibility, excellence, and impact of universities worldwide.
