This programme no longer exists. Due to SGUL cutting ties with UNIC. UNIC is a terrible place to study and it is my mission to make everyone aware of it. For anyone looking for information regarding UNIC you can send me a message and I will gladly share my experience with you (with evidence).

This is an MD student feed back :
"
No problem. Ill try to answer everything.
- yes the quality of education is good here compared to other universities in cyprus and in the EU. Most of our students end up training in the UK or the US. Our content follows the UK NICE guidelines though not the US.
- cyprus is a very safe country. I was in Nicosia and now I have moved to Limassol for clinical years and both are nice, well-serviced cities suitable for student life. The staff are helpful in my opinion. They are very friendly and provide assistance for students in all matters. Although, as in every university, sometimes matters cannot be changed to our personal preferences and students just have to comply with administration rules (I personally don’t see that as a problem, I think it provides structure and discipline)
- the diploma is recognized worldwide (you actually get 2 degrees: bachelor in biomedical sciences after 4th yr, and an MD after 6th yr) and you are eligible to work in any EU country without needing an equivalent diploma (provided you meet the country of choice’s application requirements and individual standards of course). Yes, it is possible to train in prestigious hospitals post-graduation. I have friends who have done their elective courses in the US and matched for residency after graduation. The university has a career alumni or council that provides students with guidelines for pathways of entry for different countries all over the world. They are available to meet with students or respond to their emails and help them any time. Regarding the USMLE, students have to study separately on their individual time because as I said, our lectures are compatible with the UK (NICE guidelines). My friends have all done the USMLE Step 1 this year and all of them passed. I do not find it difficult, just requires preparation and dedicated studying for 5-6 months at least."

As an MD student currently living in limassol I can also share my experience.
The university claims that everyone speaks English and that language is not a barrier - This is false. Doctors and patients will frequently converse in Greek, in front of you, with little interpretation and your clinical experience will feel like a waste of time. You do not have unlimited access to an interpreter.
2 - Limassol is a very expensive city so if you are not fortunate enough to be placed elsewhere, the rent for a decent apartment starts around 1,200 euros a month.
3- Administration are a mess. If you question a rule, or challenge them in any capacity, you will regret it. There has been examples of the school kicking students out due to inconsistencies with the course leads. If you question an authority figure, you will be blacklisted and prevented from graduating. The course leads have falsified documentation to have a student removed from the programme.
4 - If you are a minority, you are already at a disadvantage and that is all I have to say.
5 - My only positive is that I have met some incredible Doctors who has restored my faith in medicine, however this can be found in other universities.
I would strongly advise against coming here. If you're from the UK, I would work and apply again for the UK. It is not worth the stress
