General Information...

The Evaluation Committee of Private Universities (ECPU) is set up by the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Cyprus following the provisions of the Private Universities (Establishment, Operation and Control) Law 109(I) of 2005.

According to Article 10.- of the Law, the Council of Ministers appoints the seven members of the Evaluation Committee on a five year tenure, based on the suggestion of the Minister of Education and Culture. The purpose of the Evaluation Committee is to examine the applications for the establishment of Private Universities.

The Evaluation Committee has the following structure:

Chairperson
Six Members

The chairperson of the Council of Educational Evaluation – Accreditation (CEEA) chairs the Committee. CEEA is the competent authority for the educational evaluation – accreditation of the programmes of studies offered by the Private Institutions of Tertiary Education operating in the Republic of Cyprus. Two of the ECPU members are also members of CEEA. The remaining four members are professors with extensive experience on university administration issues, based in three different countries.

The Evaluation Committee determines both the manner of convening its meetings, the procedures followed during the meetings and in general during the performance of its duties. It has the authority to appoint teams of experts to examine certain aspects concerning an application, but the final decision lies with the Committee.
