“Every project we completed had the characteristics of a professional assignment, that taught us what to do in real terms with customers. I developed the critical ability to challenge conventional ideas. There was constant and fruitful cooperation and collaboration between students and teachers, as we exchanged thoughts, opinions and ideas. All of this has helped me set my personal goals in an environment of creative freedom.”

Pavlina Damianou, Graphic Communication - Class of 2013

“Graphic Communication was my second degree and I had really high expectations when i entered the course. Now I can say for sure that I got more than I expected. I literally enjoyed being with other people who were interested in design and to work in creative and very interesting projects. I was inspired by talented teachers, who passionately guided us in the design process. The Graphic Communication program was a very important experience. I loved and enjoyed every minute of all the lessons during my studies.”

Galatia Mesaritou, Graphic Communication

“The teaching staff of the Department of Design and Multimedia is dedicated in educating and assisting their students. The availability of the best resources in the library and the infrastructure in the classrooms and studios will pleasantly surprise even the most demanding students. A unique learning environment has been created; the International conferences, the numerous talks outside the curriculum as well as the workshops have significantly contributed to my development and expanded my knowledge to new areas of interest, some of which I would like to get to know better after graduation. The choice to study graphic design at the University of Nicosia was one of the smartest decisions I have ever made and I think I was fully rewarded for it.”

Sevag Barkhudaryan, Graphic Communication

“I entered the Graphic Communication (BA) program at the University of Nicosia in October 2009. I had no idea that these would be the four most creative years of my life so far; I was fascinated to see my work become better and to mature and my passion to grow. Of course, nothing would be possible without the amazing team of lecturers of the Department of Design & Multimedia. They were so passionate about their work; they pushed us to achieve the best possible results when designing.”
