About Intercollege
Excellence in Education

Our focus extends throughout Greece, Cyprus, and the broader Mediterranean region, nurturing a regional center of excellence for students, professionals, and entrepreneurs alike.
Culinary Arts
A Heritage of Success
Intercollege has run one of the most awarded culinary arts programmes in the region for decades. Many Intercollege culinary arts alums have gone on to successful careers in the hospitality field and now serve as some of the top chefs in Cyprus and abroad.
Intercollege’s flagship culinary arts management programme is one of only a handful of 4-year bachelor’s degrees in the Mediterranean region and prepares graduates, not just to be chefs, but to be managers and entrepreneurs in the field.
Though Intercollege offers comprehensive training in the culinary arts, including global and modernist cuisine, its strength is in Greek and Mediterranean cuisine. Greek cuisine is considered to be one of the most popular, fastest-growing and healthiest cuisines in the world and Intercollege faculty have written globally award-winning books on the topic of Greek cuisine and health.
Aesthetics & Wellness
Meeting Industry Demands
through Innovation
Intercollege is also a European and Global Leader in the field of cosmetology, wellness, aesthetic and beauty treatments. It offers one of the few such 4-year bachelor’s degrees in the European Union.
While cosmetology has been historically purely a vocational field, with a focus on 1- and 2-year certificates and diplomas, the growth of the high-end health / wellness / beauty industry has increased demands for qualified staff who can operate high-end Wellness establishments and offer specialized aesthetic, beauty and wellness treatments.
Maritime Education
Navigating Global Opportunities
Cyprus is a global leader in shipping; it is considered to be the largest 3rd-party ship-management center in the European Union, and one of the largest in the world. Today, Cyprus is ranked as the 11th largest merchant fleet globally and the 3rd largest fleet in the European Union (in terms of tonnage).
Intercollege founded the Cyprus Maritime Academy (CyMA) and, through the CyMA Board of Governors, has extensive relationships with many of the largest shipping and ship management firms in the world.
