Lukashov Daniil on studying at the largest private university in Cyprus |
Lukashov Daniil is a student of the bachelor’s program in hotel and restaurant management at the University of Nicosia, studying at the largest private university in Cyprus.Daniel, why did you choose a university in Cyprus to get a higher education?I decided to go to university in Cyprus because such higher education will be the best start for my future career, as I will have more opportunities to use the educational experience abroad.In what year did you enter the University of Nicosia, what faculty?Entered in 2013. I study in the direction of hotel and restaurant management. It is very interesting to study here, as many practices are taught, which is very important for the use of the acquired knowledge in real life.Is it possible to get home?Yes. Vacation schedule and no visa problems allow you to go home often. The only restriction is that the stay outside of Cyprus must not exceed 3 months, and a student visa must be renewed every year.Is it difficult to listen to lectures in English?I did not excel in English language school, but two years before entering the University of Nicosia I started taking additional courses. They helped me. This university has a very flexible program for those students who do not know enough English. There are special courses for them that can teach the student to understand English, as well as subjects that do not require in-depth knowledge of English.How is communication with teachers? Is there any help from them?All teachers are very good. They have all the qualities that good teachers need. They help if something is not clear and are ready to answer your question immediately, and if there is no time, then immediately after the lecture. Also, most teachers have their offices where they are at certain hours, and during these hours any student can come to them and ask their question. And if the teacher does not have an office, then he has an e-mail box to which he can write students who can not ask questions during the lecture.How big is the workload?In fact, the workload in the subjects is not very high compared to education in Ukraine, but this does not mean that it is worse to teach here. The training material is very concise and professionally presented. Students easily memorize the material and apply it well in practice.How is your leisure time?I have quite a lot of time at my faculty and this allows me to delve well into the learning process, as well as to work fully. At the beginning of the semester, I enrolled in many clubs at the university – a chess club, photography, recreation. All these circles are very interesting for the participants.How does the University of Nicosia meet your expectations?At first, I had no idea what education and student life would be like here. But in general I am very happy with the local situation and study. I think that those people who will see the advertisement of this university will not regret it if they come here. Personally, I repeat, I am very pleased.What are the living conditions? Does everything suit you?I live in a hostel. Accommodation here is relatively expensive. Many to save live together in one apartment. The cost of all products and all services is slightly more expensive than in Ukraine. But this is due to the standard of living in Cyprus, there are other salaries, and therefore other expenses. I am satisfied with everything, and I would recommend everyone to go to study in Cyprus.

A year of study at a world-renowned university will cost 40,000 US dollars |
Danny Byrne (QS ranking editor) published the results of his study on the rising cost of tuition at the world’s best universities.
According to him, the cost of obtaining a bachelor’s degree from a university that is in the top 10 of the latest QS rankings can reach $ 182,000. This price is set for a 4-year course of study at the University of Chicago (9th position in the ranking of 2013/2014). With a price of $ 45,324. USA per year, this school is recognized as the most expensive among the top ten. But the price in it is not much different from the “neighbors” in the rating.
Second place went to Yale University with an annual course cost of $ 43,100, while at Stanford a year costs $ 42,690. Tuition at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which ranks first in the QS rankings, is $ 36,000 per year, at Harvard University – about $ 40,000.
These data indicate a significant increase in the cost of tuition at universities in all countries after the financial crisis. The average annual tuition fee at the university, which is in the top ten in the rankings, is now at a record high of $ 31,000, showing a sharp increase compared to the $ 18,464 required to pay for one year of study in 2008.
The following table shows the data on the amount of the annual tuition fee for the top ten universities (excluding the cost of rent, food, purchase of educational materials).

The rule of “blind admission” in US universities
The opportunity to receive education in the best universities, regardless of the cost of education, provides a system of “blind admission”. The fact is that the admissions committee when viewing the questionnaires of applicants has no idea about the solvency of the applicant. After enrollment, universities offer various types of financial support (scholarships) to students whose parents’ income is below a certain level.
Currently, 6 US educational institutions are recruiting students on a “blind” basis: Amherst College; Dartmouth College; Harvard University; Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Princeton University; Yale University.
And on this principle, both US citizens and foreign applicants are selected, part of the cost of education which falls on the shoulders of higher education.
At admission to these universities, the issue of student solvency is not considered, and the https://123helpme.me/buy-compare-and-contrast-essay/ amount of tuition fees is set depending on the financial capabilities of the applicant’s family.
But even under such conditions, most students in leading US schools make huge financial commitments.
The cost of training in the UK
Since 2012, some public universities in the UK have increased tuition fees by almost 3 times. Now they are leading in the ranking of the most expensive universities in the world.
If in the past tuition fees in the UK remained at an acceptable level, now a year of tuition can cost 9,000 pounds ($ 14,000) per year. Most universities set the same prices for students from the UK and other EU countries.
Thanks to the national system of student loans, local students can apply for a government loan, which must be repaid after graduation.
