One of the biggest challenges during the first-year of studies is the successful transition and adjustment of students from high school or military service to university life. We remain committed to supporting the academic success of every student.
Therefore, in addition to the support services we provide to our students during their studies, we offer additional activities before the beginning of the academic year to help make the transition from Secondary to Higher Education be as smooth as possible.

Ι. Preparatory Program: 8 September – 3 October 2025

The Preparatory Program is provided at no cost to incoming students and includes:

- Refresh your knowledge: Free intensive courses such as English, Mathematics, Architectural Design, Physics and others, according to your program of study.
- Empower yourself: Workshops for the development of academic and other skills that will equip you with the fundamental tools needed for a smooth transition to the University.
- Recreational and sports activities: Opportunities to explore, connect, and enjoy yourself through fun and engaging activities.

The first day of the preparatory program is Monday, September 8, at 10:00 at Frederick University, Nicosia campus and Limassol campus.
