Overview
About LCBT
Larnaca College of Business and Technology is a smaller, teaching-focused institution built around employability. Programmes are shorter on theory and longer on applied work than at a research university, and most include a supervised placement.
The college is a common choice for students who want a European qualification at the lower end of the cost range, and for those entering through a foundation year. Its hospitality and tourism programmes draw on Larnaca's position as a coastal and airport city.

On campus
Campus and student life
A modern campus near Larnaca's city centre, with computing labs, a hospitality training kitchen and restaurant, library and student lounge. The airport and coastline are both a short bus ride away.
Student life
Student council, sports teams and a volunteering programme run with local organisations. The coastal setting means a large part of student life happens outdoors for most of the academic year.
