As higher education became widespread and the socioeconomic crisis in the country grew harsher, USEK has set the following objectives for itself:

• Make higher education accessible to all equally, without discrimination and, most importantly, without excluding economically deprived students;
• Preserve the quality of its students’ education and training, so as to enable them to better live in society and in their vocational sphere.

USEK is keen on keeping its fees affordable, and provides its most destitute students with financial aid and payment facilities. Scholarships are also allotted to the most deserving students.

Several offices and services have been put at the students’ disposal, in order to provide them with support, a listening ear, counsel and orientation. These include: The Financial Aid Office, the University Pastoral Work, the Students’ Affairs Office, the Orientation and Admission Office, the Infirmary, etc.
