Recreational Sports
This group of activities is for people who want to improve their overall level of physical fitness. The aim of the University is to make sports an inseparable part of university life.
Internal Championships
Internal championships are open to the entire University community (undergraduate and postgraduate students, academic and administrative personnel). Emphasis is placed on participation as much as winning. They offer a way to improve overall physical fitness, they develop skills and techniques in a variety of sports, and they are fun.

State of the Art Teaching Facilities
The new University Campus is located on the outskirts of east Nicosia, between Aglantzia and Athalassa, and covers an area of approximately 1.2 square kilometers. The new facilities will eventually host all faculties, departments, and teaching activities of the University.
An international architectural competition was held in 1992 for the design of the New Campus. The winning designs served as the basis for the final Master Plan, which was completed in 1994 and approved in 1998, at which time building commenced.
The Master Plan conceptualizes the Campus in four distinct zones: public buildings, academic buildings, sports facilities, and student residences. Upon completion, slated for 2020, the Campus will accommodate up to 9,000 students.
