1. Welcome to Kyprium
Kyprium is Cyprus's graduate-focused careers platform. As a University of Cyprus student or graduate, you get a verified UCY badge that appears next to your name on every application, plus free access to premium AI tools and automatic matching to Cyprus roles once your profile is complete.
2. Sign up with your UCY email
Go to the UCY sign-up page and use your @ucy.ac.cy email. This is what auto-verifies you as a UCY graduate and turns on the badge.
- Enter your first name, last name, and UCY email.
- Choose a strong password (min 8 chars, mixed case, number, symbol).
- Open the verification email in your UCY inbox and click the link.
- You'll land straight on your candidate dashboard, badge active.
3. Switch to your personal email
Your UCY email won't work forever after you graduate — so once you're signed in, switch to a personal email you'll always have (Gmail, Outlook, iCloud, etc.). This keeps your account, applications and your verified UCY badge alive for the rest of your career.
- Open your candidate dashboard.
- At the top of your dashboard, open University tools → Add your personal email.
- Enter your personal email — we'll send one verification link to that new address.
- Click the link. Your sign-in email is updated immediately and you're signed out to log back in with the new address.
4. Your dashboard tour
The dashboard is your home base. From top to bottom you'll find:
- Applications & credits — see application status and your Kyp Credits balance at a glance.
- University tools — add your personal email, plus your Graduate CV Builder and Graduate Cover Letter.
- My CV — upload once; it is attached automatically every time you apply.
- Your matches — roles picked for you, including UCY-only roles.
- Career profile & Skills — target roles, districts and skills that power your matches.
- Tools & account — every AI tool and your settings.

- Upload a PDF or DOCX. No CV yet? Tap "Don't have a CV yet?" to open the Graduate CV Builder.
- Pick your availability status — Actively looking, Open to offers, or Not looking.
- Fill in your career profile (roles, districts, skills). Email alerts are optional.
- Toggle visibility off any time if you want to pause employer outreach.
