How to apply

Prospective students must submit an undergraduate first-year application with the following documents: 

• High school transcript for grades 10 and 11 or their equivalent 
• Official form for Applicant Secondary School Record​​
  
• An entrance exam is required which can be one option from the below types*:
• Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) 
  The SAT can be taken several times. Students can benefit from “super scoring". (i.e., taking the maximum score for each section (Math or Evidence-Based Reading and Writing) from all sessions).​
  

• The International AS-level exam:
  3 AS-Levels with the following subjects:
  Mathematics (Math or Math - Further), and two non-language subjects
  

• Cypriot Lyceum B Class standardized exams
  Two subjects, one in Math (Basic or Advanced), and another non-language subject
  
  

Admission is competitive and based on the results of entrance exam scores provided and the high school transcript as follows: 

• 50% on an entrance exam (SAT, AS-Levels, or Cypriot Lyceum B Class standardized exams)
• 50% on the standardized high school averages in grades 10 and 11 

In terms of standardized high school averages, students are compared to their class average and to the average of applicants from the same school.  

There are no specific cut-off scores. The higher the student's score, the better the chances of being admitted.
