The design of all Departments is based on four key objectives:

• High scientific, technical and professional competence in students’ education.
• High-quality research that will be able to transcend the traditional boundaries between basic and applied research in order to provide solutions to major social and economic problems and to allow Cyprus to remain an important partner in the modern European division of the resources allocated to research.
• Interdisciplinary orientation both in curriculum design and in the staffing of the Departments , so that the University can enter the field from the outset and remain at the forefront of scientific, educational and social developments both locally and internationally.
• Collaboration with local industry and economy to help drive innovation and continuous improvement of products and services..
