One of Cyprus Leading Research Institutions

FU considers research one of the foremost important activities, along teaching and learning.

The University's academic staff is involved in a wide range of research activities in various disciplines such as engineering, information technology, social sciences, finance and education. These research initiatives and activities place the University amongst the most successful organizations in Cyprus with respect to the level of financial support received for research projects from local (e.g. Research Promotion Foundation) and European Union sources. The University's contemporary research facilities play a vital role in the successful implementation of research projects and the education of its students.

Frederick University is closely linked with the Frederick Research Centre (FRC), which operates as a non-profit organization. One of the main objectives of the Research Centre is to provide the academic staff of the University with the necessary infrastructure to facilitate research activities. Through its multidimensional research and scientific activities, FRC has succeeded in establishing a wide collaboration network with international universities and research centres, as well as with private enterprises in Cyprus and abroad. The purpose of this collaboration is to advance scientific knowledge and facilitate the study and solution of real life problems.

The Frederick Research Centre encourages the involvement of FU students in research programmes, and facilitates the implementation of the students' final projects. Under the supervision of their academic advisors, students of Frederick University Cyprus actively participate in scientific research projects, gaining valuable research experience in the process.

In the past years, FRC and FU oversaw the implementation and on-going continuation of more than ninety research projects. A number of these projects receive external financial support from the European Union, and the Research Promotion Foundation of Cyprus. These projects were evaluated in a pool of proposals submitted by many eminent international research institutions and they succeeded in receiving funding in a very competitive environment.
