The European University Cyprus (EUC) (Greek: Ευρωπαϊκό Πανεπιστήμιο Κύπρου) is a private non- profit university in Nicosia, Cyprus which evolved out of Cyprus College, the oldest institution of higher education in Cyprus.

The institution has a current enrollment of over 11,000 students and provides internationally recognized undergraduate, graduate, and doctorate degrees.
