The MBA Program of the University of Cyprus successfully organized the Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Program (BIP) entitled “Ethical Considerations in Business”, which took place in Cyprus from 8 to 12 June 2026. The program was funded by the Erasmus+ Programme and hosted at the University of Cyprus.
A total of 40 MBA students from four European countries participated in the program: 10 students from Finland, 10 students from Croatia, 4 students from Spain, and 16 students from Cyprus. The program also welcomed three accompanying staff members from the partner European universities.
The BIP focused on contemporary issues in business ethics and sustainability, offering participants a unique experience of international collaboration and intercultural learning. Throughout the week, students attended lectures and workshops on topics including corporate governance, ethics in artificial intelligence, data protection and privacy, environmental and climate risks, workplace diversity, and ethical leadership.
An important component of the program was a series of educational visits to leading organizations in Cyprus, including The Carlsberg brewery Cyprus and Coca-Cola HBC Cyprus, providing participants with valuable insights into best practices in corporate responsibility, sustainability, and business ethics.
In parallel, the program included a variety of cultural activities and visits to some of Cyprus’s most notable destinations, including Protaras, the Blue Lagoon, the Kourion Archaeological Site, and the Limassol seafront, offering international participants a comprehensive experience of Cyprus’s history, culture, and hospitality.
The Erasmus+ BIP is an innovative initiative that promotes the internationalization of higher education by strengthening cooperation among European universities, fostering intercultural communication, and contributing to the development of skills required in today’s global business environment.
The University of Cyprus MBA Program continues to invest strategically in internationalization, providing its students with opportunities to participate in high-quality international academic activities while strengthening the connection between academic knowledge and real-world business challenges.
