EMU was great. I was greatly enriched and will never forget any of the 3.5 years I spent in the department of Public Relations and Advertising. I'm doing relevant work now in the advertising industry because I was given a competitive advantage at EMU. The cultural and social experience was phenomenal. Thank you DAÜ!

Worst university on earth! They even call themselves a Medical "Faculty" but in fact they are SUPER materialistic and all about mark tampering. I was a MEDICAL student and i wish i did not waste one year of my life and money, they are extremely racist against internationals that they were failing us and tampering with the marks!and very unproffesional, they even proved how uncooperative they are when they refused to give me my transcripts when i decided to move out of the university! IF you want to waste your time, money, mental health then go to the "Faculty" of Medicine in this university.

Best 4 years I've had so far, the reception at EMU would make you see Cyprus as home. If you're looking for a condusive environment for learning, where you can meet and network with people from different nationalities and cultural orientation, EMU is your best bet.

Simply the best for me. Had amazing time during my master's degree in hospitality management. Cyprus is now a place that I consider as home. Even though I left, my heart will always belong to this beautiful island. EMU is a good university to study.

I've done my MBA at EMU... Such a good place to be. Quality of education is good, staff are friendly and Cyprus is a lovely place to live... No doubt that was the best 2 years of my life and now I'm running a successful business in Australia all thanks to what I've learned at EMU.
