Semester in Europe: International Relations
Dates, Costs and Deadlines
Our
study abroad programs are famously comprehensive and are an excellent value. Though many of our programs incorporate some of the most extensive travel and excursions of any
study abroad programs, our fees are often similar to or lower than the fees of programs that just provide tuition and housing.

Airfare to Cyprus
Airfare from the United States (New York) to Cyprus can range between $850 and $1,300, depending on the season and how far in advance the ticket was purchased. Connecting flights from other cities in the United States can add between $0 and $400 to this cost. We encourage students to finalize travel arrangements as early as possible to avoid high airfares.
We designate a group arrival time and date for admitted students a few months before the program start date and give students the option of working with our travel agency in Cyprus to arrange their tickets or working with an independent travel agency (like STA Travel or Expedia). We find that we can sometimes procure more flexible travel terms for students via Cyprus, but this is not always the case.
We include free airport transfer to student accommodations for students that arrive on the designated time. Larnaca airport is located about one hour by car from the program base in Nicosia.
