Cypriot medical students studying in Russia face significant challenges in getting their degrees recognized in Cyprus, despite a bilateral agreement. Kyriakos Kyriakou, a graduate from a Russian university, pointed out that despite his additional studies, he needs to take three more courses for recognition. The recognition system is complex, with the head of KYSATS stating that processes require a deeper assessment of study programs. Several other Cypriot students are in the same situation, raising concerns about their future.
