Frederick Institute of Technology (FIT) was founded over 41 years ago and since then it has developed into an energetic and vibrant higher educational institution. It is registered with the ministry of education and is one of the largest private institutions in the Republic of Cyprus. It offers a broad range of diploma, degree and master courses in the areas of science, engineering, business, tourism, arts, media and education. Founded in 1965 the institute is well respected nationally and internationally for its tradition of academic excellence and leading edge research. As such following the introduction of the Law on Private Universities in Cyprus, FIT has formally entered the process to be converted into a full university bearing the name Frederick University. Fit offers the students conducive environment backed by excellent facilities such as good student accommodation, a fully stocked library, laboratories and workshops. FIT operates from two locations, one in Nicosia the capital city and the other in Limasol the second largest city on the island. Both campuses are located within the most thriving cities on the island, which is endowed with rich cultural heritage, beautiful landscape and fine weather. In some courses such as Marine, IT and Business Studies the courses require a student’s internship and hence the opportunity for the student to earn some pocket money while studying.
