His undergraduate law degree (LL.B) was obtained from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in Greece. He maintains professional affiliation as a non-practicing member of the Cyprus Bar Association. Bachelor of Laws (LL.B), Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece Master of Law (LL.M) (European), University of Essex, United Kingdom Ph.D. in Law, University of Essex, United Kingdom Dr Costa's principal research interests center on accountability and transparency at the EU level of governance. His work critically examines mechanisms ensuring democratic oversight of EU decision-making processes, particularly regarding independent agencies, committees, and expert groups. In his monograph 'The Accountability Gap in EU law' (Routledge 2017), he argues that EU institutions and member states lack adequate frameworks to control actions of various EU bodies operating at arm's length from direct political control.

Dr Costa maintains active engagement with the academic community through presentations at prominent institutions including the University of Cambridge, University of Essex, and the Dutch House of Representatives.
