Private Colleges and institutes
A number of private tertiary institutions offer programs in various fields of study (e.g. secretarial studies, business administration, electrical, civil and mechanical engineering, hotel and catering, banking, accountancy and computer studies) with a duration of one to four years. Law 67(I)/96 regulate the establishment, control and operation of tertiary institutions in Cyprus. According to this Law, all private tertiary institutions have to register with the Ministry of Education and Culture. Twenty tertiary education institutions are registered with the Ministry and offer specific courses leading to the award of a Certificate/Diploma/Degree. Some of these schools have registered to offer post-graduate programs as well. It should be noted, however, that registration of a private institution does not imply recognition of the degrees awarded by these institutions. Recognition is possible only after successful accreditation of the programs of study offered by a private institution. During the academic year 2004-2005, the process of educational accreditation has been forward and 79 out of 147 programs of study have gained conditional accreditation.
