University of Cyprus aims to establish itself as a Pioneer Research Institution achieving International Scientific Recognition in European Higher Education, offering Competitive Programmes and to become a Centre of Excellence in the wider Euro - Mediterranean Region.
The new structure of the BA in English consists of three different tracks within the same Programme. These are: 1) Anglophone Literature and Cultural Studies2) Theoretical and Applied Linguistics3) Translation Studies The tracks are areas of specialization within the same degree and have been designed in order to create a flexible, more diverse degree and to provide students with the opportunity to focus on specific areas of interest during their studies. In particular, the courses in the first two semesters (1st year of studies) – and some courses in later semesters – are common for all three tracks. At the beginning of the 2nd year of studies (3rd semester) students must opt for one of the three tracks offered by the respective Sections. The tracks may overlap at various points, thus students are given the opportunity to customize their programme of studies in their 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years by choosing compulsory and elective courses from any of the three tracks (see the large table further down, entitled Overall Structure of the BA in English). Choice of track must be finalised by the 5th semester of studies the latest.
