UCLan Cyprus has been officially recognised once again among the Best Small & Medium Workplaces in Europe™ for 2026 by Great Place To Work®, standing out consistently as a people-centric organisation in higher education.

This prestigious recognition is based directly on employee feedback. Across Europe, more than 1.5 million employees participated in the survey, representing hundreds of thousands of responses from organisations selected to shape the 2026 rankings.

For UCLan Cyprus, this award represents much more than workplace excellence. It reflects a deep-rooted culture of trust, inclusion, and collaboration, where staff are empowered to thrive and contribute to the academic and societal mission of the University. This ranking further reinforces the reputation of the British University of Cyprus, not only as a leading educational institution, but also as one of the most rewarding and supportive workplaces in Europe.

"Being recognised once again among the Best Workplaces in Europe is a tremendous moment of pride for us. Our people are at the heart of everything we do. This award reflects their passion, their trust in the University, and our ongoing commitment to fostering an environment where every individual can achieve their fullest potential."

— Mr. Floros Voniatis, CEO and President of the Council of UCLan Cyprus

To be considered for the Best Small & Medium Workplaces in Europe™ list for 2026, organisations must first be recognised on a national Best Workplaces™ list, hold Great Place To Work Certified™ status, and employ between 50 and 499 people in Europe. The rankings are determined through employee feedback evaluating trust in leadership, workplace values, innovation, and inclusivity.

Established in 2012, UCLan Cyprus is the first overseas campus of the University of Lancashire. Based in Larnaca, the University offers a world-class double-awarded degree with a strong emphasis on employability, innovation, research, and community impact, with a diverse and inclusive international environment.
