There are some students working in the university as student or teaching assistants as well as students working out of campus in various jobs. However, applicants should be aware that none of the jobs would cover either the tuition or accommodation fee. It may only help students with their daily expenses.
Important information for students who choose to enrol for the spring (2nd) semester
Prospective students who enrol in any of the EUL programmes in the Spring Semester are subject to alteration(s) in their academic curriculum. Such alterations may include extra charges on a later basis and/or additional tuition fees for courses. Relevant compulsory courses may not always be available due to second semester enrolment. These courses may have to be taken at a later semester which will cause an increase of payment in standard tuition fees. This usually applies to the availability of prerequisite academic courses in the curriculum of the relevant Department. Students who chose to study at the European University of Lefke in the Spring Semester are hence exposed to further fee charges derived from the above mentioned conditions.
All prospective students should apply to:
