February 18, 2026

The Medical School of the University of Cyprus is set to open on March 24, as construction work is expected to be completed by February 28. Vice-Rector Ioannis Yiapanthakis informed the Education Committee of the Parliament about the progress of the projects. Additional facilities, such as Teaching Spaces 3, have also been completed and are planned to be inaugurated in May or June. The University is requesting approval from the Ministry of Finance to begin the construction of four more Schools that currently lack permanent facilities. This progress reflects the University’s commitment to advancing education in Cyprus.
