Summer in Cyprus: International Relations




Program Description

The Summer in Cyprus: International Relations program is designed for IR, Politics and other Social Sciences students who want to gain exposure to the complex geopolitical issues of the Eastern Mediterranean.

Cyprus is a stable and accessible learning laboratory for students to explore current international issues such as the EU enlargement, Greco-Turkish relations, southeastern Mediterranean issues, the Middle East, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

You will take courses in Nicosia, the last divided capital in the world and participate in a series of cultural excursions and educational trips within Cyprus, including visits in both communities as well as the United Nations Forces in Cyprus.
