UNIC Stories

Inspiring stories and testimonials from UNIC students and alumni.

  • Dr Evelyn Quelch

    My experience at the Medical School played a pivotal role in securing my Core Training Post at John Radcliffe Hospital, part of the Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. This academic milestone marked the convergence of my aspirations and UNIC’s exceptional support. The rigorous academic curriculum and clinical exposure provided me with a strong foundation in medical sciences and patient care. The Careers Office was an unwavering pillar of support throughout my journey at UNIC. I am grateful for its role in my success and will continue to apply my acquired knowledge and skills throughout my career at Oxford.

  • Dr Chris Bachtsetzis

    Six months after my graduation, I succeeded in registering as a physician in two EU member states, Cyprus and Greece, as well as in one European Economic Area country, Switzerland, and in the United Kingdom. Additionally, the value of the medical degree I earned from the University of Nicosia was affirmed once again, when I applied to a highly competitive, world top-tier medical school for postgraduate studies and was accepted.

  • Monique Jeanne Morrow
    Senior Distinguished Architect, Emerging Technologies, Syniverse, Zurich, Switzerland

    The MSc in Digital Currency and Blockchain Technologies has been pivotal for me stepping in my new role as Senior Distinguished Architect, Emerging Technologies at Syniverse where blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technologies are one of the company’s big bets.

  • Lorilee Lippincott

    I am from the US and Canada but live in Thailand, so I searched all over the world for master’s programs that could give me the knowledge and credentials to move into this space. I didn’t find any other program with the wide range of learning included in the MSc in Blockchain and Digital Currency offered by UNIC. When people think of blockchain, they think of tech and coding, but this innovation is far-reaching and requires diverse knowledge and skills beyond coding languages.
