  • Other Dimensions of Internationalisation in Higher
    Published on Eurydice (https://eacea.ec.europa.eu/national-policies/eurydice) Global and intercultural dimensions in curriculum development The founding laws of public universities provide for the admission of foreign students and the cooperation with foreign academic and scientific institutions. Moreover, Law 109 (I)/2005 [1] on the establishment and operation of private universities provides for the provision, by every private university, of graduate and/or undergraduate education of a high standard that accepts international recognition. A number of recent developments have further enhanced the international dimension in curriculum development. These include the adoption of the three-level qualifications framework and the diploma supplement; offering, under certain preconditions, programmes in foreign languages by public universities; offering trans-university programmes of studies that are related to European programmes, such as the Erasmus Mundus Masters Courses; permitting private universities to offer programmes in Greek and/or a foreign language provided that it is stipulated in the University Charter; and, the decision of the Council of Ministers to introduce a National Qualifications Framework for Cyprus, in line with the QF for the EHEA. Partnerships and networks Partnerships and networks that public and private universities establish with international institutes and organisations further enhance internationalisation in higher education. Main developments include the following: ● University of Cyprus: [2] The University is a member of the Community of Mediterranean Universities (CMU), the Network of Universities from the Capitals of Europe (UNICA), the Association of Commonwealth Universities (ACU), the European University Association(EUA), the Association of Arab and European Universities (AEUA), the International Association of Universities (IAU), the Santander Group (SG) and LEO-NET.

  • Dr. Andreas Demetriou
    Andreas Demetriou Andreas Demetriou is a Greek Cypriot developmental psychologist and former Minister of Education and Culture of Cyprus. He received a PhD in psychology in 1983. He was a professor of Developmental Psychology at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki until 1996. He then moved to the University of Cyprus, where he was a professor of psychology until he became the Minister of Education and Culture. Currently he is professor of psychology and President of the University of Nicosia Research Foundation. He is also President of the Pancyprian Association of Psychologists. Research His research focuses on cognitive development. From the very beginning he attempted to develop a comprehensive theory of cognitive development aiming to integrate the empirically valid aspects of Piaget's theory with psychometric and cognitive theory. That is, the theory aimed to describe and explain intellectual development through the life span, individual differences in the rate and directions of intellectual development, and the cognitive mechanisms underlying development and individual differences. According to this theory, the human mind is organised in three functional levels. The first is the level of processing potentials, which involves information processing mechanisms underlying the ability to attend to, select, represent, and operate on information. The other two levels involve knowing processes, one oriented to the environment and another oriented to the self. The level oriented to the environment includes thought processes and functions that specialise in the representation and processing of information coming from different domains of the environment. Six domains are specified: Categorical, quantitative, causal, spatial, propositional, and social thought. The self-oriented level includes functions and processes oriented to monitoring, representing, and regulating processing potentials and the environment-oriented systems.

  • Review of UK Transnational Education in Cyprus: University of St Mark & St John and University of Nicosia
    Review of UK transnational education in Cyprus: University of St Mark & St John and University of Nicosia November 2015 Executive summary The University of St Mark & St John (the University), an independent Church of England voluntary college formed from the combination in 1923 of the constituent colleges of St John's in Battersea and St Mark's in Chelsea, was granted taught degree awarding powers in 2007 and university status in 2012. The University offers undergraduate and taught postgraduate programmes, with a focus on business, education, social sciences and sport. The University of Nicosia (UNIC) (formerly Intercollege), a private sector higher education institution founded in 1980, offers undergraduate and postgraduate programmes from sites in Nicosia, Limassol and Larnaca, across a range of disciplines including business, education, humanities, social sciences, sciences, and engineering. Under the partnership UNIC, through UNIC Online, offers three programmes validated by the University: a Master of Business Administration, approved in 2011, a BA (Hons) Business Studies, approved in 2012, and a BA (Hons) Accounting, approved in 2013, all delivered online. There are currently 950 students enrolled on the programmes. The partnership was established under the University's previous strategic plan, which had clear targets to extend its collaborative provision and to increase the number of international partnerships. Since then, following a change in strategic direction focusing on the development of onsite home provision, the University decided to terminate the partnership, considering that UNIC Online, as a private for-profit organisation, no longer provides a good strategic fit with the University. Student enrolment to the programmes ceased in October 2014.
