By participating in the Erasmus mobility program and studying at our departments, you will have the opportunity to introduce yourself to an environment that fosters excellence in artistic teaching and research. Our School has consistently supported and promoted fine and applied arts, aligned with sustainable development goals. By combining science with art, with creativity and innovation at its core, our School promotes the cultivation of critical and sustainable thinking, ethics, and values that govern research and teaching in the Fine and Applied Arts. It contributes to the cultivation of artistic spirit, integrating values such as respect, cooperation, coexistence, social sensitivity, aesthetic and artistic education, and tolerance towards violence and bullying. Dedicated to global outreach, we have built and continue to expand a dynamic European and international network, fostering collaboration in research, education, and culture.

The Department of Fine Arts aspires to be a dynamic hub of creative expression and scholarly research, seamlessly integrated into the broader cultural landscape and transcending traditional boundaries of the discipline. With a global outlook, it aims to illuminate the rich and diverse history of the island’s art, celebrating its cultural heritage while fostering innovation in contemporary artistic practices.

Committed to dialogue and exchange, the department strives to create an inclusive environment that encourages collaboration among artists, scholars, and the wider community. Through pioneering programs and initiatives, it highlights the significance of Cyprus’s artistic heritage and its enduring relevance to the global contemporary art scene.

Aligned with this vision, the department is dedicated to cultivating a culture of high theoretical and aesthetic standards, enriching discussions around Cypriot cultural identity. By supporting contemporary Cypriot art, it further strengthens the role of art as a vital medium for cultural exchange and mutual understanding.

Rooted in an experimental and creative ethos, the department envisions an education that balances aesthetic exploration with critical theoretical analysis, promoting a holistic approach to artistic practice and fostering a deeper connection between art and society.

The Department of Fine Arts offers its courses in the Greek language. If you are proficient in Greek, you can choose any of the offered courses during the semester. Although the Department provides a Greek-language undergraduate program, it aims to facilitate students from partner foreign universities to study in the Department by offering English-speaking students the opportunity to attend practical courses through Erasmus that do not include theoretical lectures and do not require the submission of assignments. In this case, the academic staff of the Department supports the students in English.
