Historical Review

CTL Eurocollege was founded in 1991, as an Educational Institution of Higher Education. Its roots, however, go back to 1966, when The CTL Academy was founded in the now closed and occupied city of Famagusta. CTL Academy was a School of Secondary Education of high standards and excellent Academic achievements, and was  renowned among its peers. After a few years of operation, it even went on to offer some Programmes of Higher Education, such as Office Administration, Business Administration, and Banking.

CTL Eurocollege inherited those same goals and aspirations from its predecessor, to maintain a high level of education, to treat all Students with respect, as mature Human Beings, independently of race, origin or gender, and to play an important role in Society. Judging from the feedback, all our goals are being achieved, with the hard work from the Faculty and Administration Staff.
