Frederick University is an energetic and vibrant private university operating in the Republic of Cyprus, a member state of the European Union. Frederick University was established after a decision by the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Cyprus on 12th September 2007. Although the establishment of the University is relatively recent, the organisation has a long history of more than 50 years in higher education. Frederick University operates from two campuses, the main campus in Nicosia, the capital of Cyprus and the other campus in Limassol, the second largest city.

Solent University (formerly Southampton Solent University) is a public university based in Southampton, United Kingdom. It has approximately 11,000 students. Its main campus is located on East Park Terrace near the city centre and the maritime hub of Southampton. Solent University students are represented by Solent Students' Union, which is based on the East Park Terrace campus. The university's origins can be traced back to a private School of Art founded in 1856, which eventually became the Southampton College of Art. Mergers with the Southampton College of Technology, and later the College of Nautical Studies at Warsash, led to the establishment of the Southampton Institute of Higher Education in 1984.

The Cyprus Maritime Academy is the first of its kind in Cyprus and was founded in the academic year 2015-2016. The first cadets accepted into the Academy started their studies in the academic year 2016-2017 with great success. The Academy’s aim is to develop and offer Competencies to the three main areas of the Marine Industry that are Nautical Science (Officer in Charge of Navigational Watch), Marine Engineering (Officer in Charge of Engineering Watch), and Marine Electro-technology (Electro-technical Officer). The initiative to establish CyMA marks an important milestone for our island, and long anticipated from both academic and professional circles within the Marine and Maritime Industry in Cyprus; thus, aims at putting an end to the lack of technical Maritime education and training in Cyprus.
