SCHOOL FEES

Contact us for more information about the school fee. 

ACCOMMODATION AND OTHER COSTS

We arrange accommodation for all students who attend the Bible School.  The rent is 350 Euros per month per student and it includes electricity, water and wifi. The accommodation is in an apartment hotel where boys and girls live in different apartments and share rooms with each other. The apartments are 1-2 bedrooms where 2-4 students live. There is a kitchen in each apartment where students can prepare their own meals. Equip does not provide food for the students.

Other costs are living expenses such as food, clothes, and amusements. A monthly bus card costs 40 Euro (20 Euro if you can show an international student card).

TRAVELING

You will pay for transportation to and from Cyprus, and book these trips on your own. 

 During the year, we make exciting class trips in Paul’s footsteps. Paul’s first missionary journey was to Salamis on the east coast of Cyprus and then he traveled across the island to Paphos. We will visit both of these places and better understand what it was like when they arrived here and how the spread of the gospel affected the whole island.

We also make class trips on the island to some hiking trails with stunning views.

VISA

Cyprus is part of the EU, and therefore students who are citizens of an EU country do not need a VISA. You are entitled to settle in another country in the EU. However, when you arrive in Cyprus, you will need to register with the Cypriot Migration Board if your stay is longer than 3 months. The cost of registration is 100 Euro. The administration of EQUIP will help students with this registration so that they are made within 3 months from the date of arrival to Cyprus. If you have citizenship in countries outside the EU, it is important that you check what rules apply to you. We are able to help students from several (but not all) non-EU countries to apply for registration. The cost of registration for non-EU citizens is approximately 300-350 Euro.

CSN (ONLY APPLICABLE FOR students from SWEDen, and some other scandinavian countries)

The course is CSN eligible for Swedish students, which means that you can apply for both grants and loans to study at EQUIP if you meet the terms of study. Read more about the specific rules that apply to folk high school courses here: www.csn.se For students from other Scandinavian countries, you need to check out how it works in your country, since this is a course in the Swedish educational system.
