“I had so many high points in my studies here. A major high point was a particular course: Enterprise Information Systems. I took the course as an independent study. It helped me develop my skills at SAP Hellas S.A., where I had the opportunity to get certified as an ERP Consultant. I want to thank the excellent faculty on the programme, who has had a profound impact on me. I’m working on a start-up back home, doing research and creating the infrastructure for the company to succeed – all because of my time at UNIC.”

Chukwuka Utebor, MBA - Management Information Systems (MIS) - Class of 2015

“Spending my student years in Cyprus and at UNIC was an important landmark in both my personal and professional development. The international environment and the opportunity to combine first-class studies and training with practical knowledge was a great approach and an extraordinary experience, which fully prepared me both for the hurdles one faces as an adult and the challenges in the globalised business world we now live in.”

Milena Domanova, Business Administration - Class of 2008, MBA - Class of 2012

“Moving to Cyprus in order to join UNIC was one of the biggest stepping-stones in my life. UNIC provided me with far more than just education. The Careers Office at UNIC is who assisted me in finding my first job at Nielsen almost a decade ago. From a fresh graduate in an entry-level position, today, I lead Global Consumer Research for Multi-billion Dollar Brands while working with C-level executives and representatives of The Fortune 100 Most Powerful Women. At UNIC, you are made to see that the sky is not the limit!”
