Summer in Cyprus
The Summer in Cyprus program is a traditional immersion experience into the summer session at Intercollege, designed to provide substantial freedom for independent exploration of Nicosia and Cyprus. Summer courses operate on a different schedule than semester courses and, therefore, students on this program have significant amounts of free time during the week; this program is more suited to the independent and motivated student. The program includes cultural events and travel to major cities in Cyprus on most weekends. Students who prefer a more structured experience should consider our other European or Mediterranean programs based in Cyprus.
