We meet families all the time who have a list of questions about AUB Mediterraneo.
Some ask about rankings. Others ask about scholarships, career prospects, or student life. The questions vary but behind every question is the desire to find a university where their child will flourish.
We listen carefully to the parents of our students – the students who are considering AUB Mediterraneo and the students who have graduated. Many of the parents who cared most about rankings and accreditations before their child enrolled at AUB Mediterraneo tell us after their child graduated that what they most appreciated about our university was that it was a place where their child was supported by caring faculty, challenged academically, and a member of a community where they could grow in confidence.
All of these factors are important of course. We all want our children to earn degrees that are accredited and recognized worldwide, that will open doors to future success. As the twin campus of the American University of Beirut, AUB Mediterraneo in Pafos builds on 160 years of academic excellence. AUB is ranked #223 worldwide and #18 globally for Employment Outcomes in the QS World University Rankings 2027. AUB Mediterraneo is accredited by MSCHE in the United States, its programs are registered and approved by the New York State Education Department in the US, and approved by CYQAA in Cyprus. In addition, its Faculty of Business is the first business school in Cyprus to offer an EQUIS-accredited business education, an international distinction held by fewer than 2% of business schools worldwide.
The supportive environment that parents tell us has been so important to their children is something that we care a lot about as well. We know that it is only when students are supported and encouraged and challenged that they develop independence, resilience, and curiosity – all things that they will need to succeed not just professionally, but in life. At AUB Mediterraneo, students enjoy small classes, close relationships with faculty, access to academic advising and mental health counseling, and an international campus community with students from XX countries where they are encouraged to ask questions, explore new ideas, and reach their full potential.
Today's employers are looking for more than technical knowledge. They value graduates who can think critically, communicate effectively, solve complex problems, and collaborate across cultures. Through its American-style liberal arts education, AUB Mediterraneo helps students develop these essential skills alongside expertise in their chosen field. Opportunities for internships, research, community engagement, leadership, and student clubs further enrich the learning experience and prepare graduates for life beyond university.
Recognizing that affordability is an important consideration for many families, AUB Mediterraneo also offers merit-based scholarships and financial assistance to help make the education that we offer accessible to talented and qualified students.
