LIMASSOL, CYPRUS

Mesoyios College is in Limassol. It describes itself as the only academic institution in Cyprus specialising in hotel, casino and resort management. It holds an Erasmus+ Charter, and the college’s website says students get two EU mobility placements during their studies. These are arranged by the college, not by Visa Connection.

Courses

• BA Hotel, Casino & Resort Management — 4 years. The college’s programme page says this programme is under accreditation by the Cyprus Quality Assurance Agency (CYQAA), checked 29 September 2026.
• BA Business Administration — 4 years
• MBA — 3 semesters
• English Foundation — 2 semesters, leading into a BA

Entry requirements

• 10th grade marksheet at 50% or above
• 12th grade marksheet at 60% or above
• A bachelor’s degree at 50% or above for the MBA
• Passport valid at least two years beyond the start date
• English: IELTS 5 / TOEFL iBT 71 / PTE 58 / CEFR B2 for degrees; IELTS 4 / TOEFL iBT 42 / PTE 43 / CEFR B1 for the Foundation
• An age gap of up to five years since higher secondary is accepted

Intakes

Three intakes a year. February takes both academic and foundation students, June is foundation-only, and October takes both again. The college sets its own cut-off for each one, so we confirm the current date before you apply.

How you apply

1. Application with four basic documents
2. Assessment by the Academic Committee
3. An Offer Letter, valid two weeks only
4. First-year tuition transferred by SWIFT
5. An Acceptance Letter — this is what secures the place
6. Entry-permit documents attested
7. The college’s own migration officer files with Cyprus Migration; the visa typically follows in 2–3 weeks

Documents and attestation

Apostille is needed on the passport copy (with a “True Copy of the Original” stamp first), the original police clearance, secondary and higher-secondary certificates, and the original medical tests — HBV/HBsAg, HCV/AntiHCV, HIV, VDRL/RPR and X-ray/TPHA/TB, valid four months. The bank statement and bank account certificate need a notary rather than an apostille.

Worth knowing before you commit

• The college states that paid hotel practice is arranged throughout the programme, and that non-EU students can work from the 7th month after arriving. Placements are the college’s responsibility and are not guaranteed by Visa Connection.
• The college states that it has Cyprus partnerships with three Swiss hospitality schools — Glion, Les Roches and the Swiss Hotel Management School — with an optional double degree after one extra semester in Switzerland.
• The college says Indian students can travel on a copy of the Entry Permit; no visa sticker is needed in the passport. Every other nationality must attend the Cyprus Embassy in person.
• There are no student dormitories. Students find shared apartments in Limassol themselves — worth planning for early.
• If the Offer Letter downpayment is not paid within two weeks the offer is cancelled automatically, and the college is under no obligation to tell you.

Fees, deposits and refund amounts are set by the institution and change — we go through the current figures for your chosen course and intake at your consultation. See our Study in Cyprus guide for the wider picture, or Study in Cyprus for the full document checklist.

Course details, entry requirements and intake dates are taken from the institution’s own admission documents and published information, and change from time to time. Admission and visa decisions rest solely with the institution and the relevant authorities — Visa Connection provides guidance and documentation support and does not guarantee any outcome.
