Living
Often dubbed the cradle of Western civilization due to its ancient history and rich cultural heritage, Greece conveys a perennial as well as universal spirit.
Situated at the crossroads of three continents-Europe, Asia and Africa-,and being a member state of the European Union since 1981, Greece constitutes an entrance gate to Europe.
The country’s sunny weather and Mediterranean climate, its magical natural landscapes with the magnificent coasts, and its adorable civilization with the outstanding artifacts, make Greece one of the most idyllic destinations worldwide. However, contemporary Greece is something more than a touristic resort and transcends the nostalgia of its glorious past.
Reconciling tradition and progress, contemporary Greece invests in culture as well as in technological innovation, aspiring to become a regional center in some of the most vital domains of the 4th industrial revolution.
Of course, development of any nation solely depends on the quality of human resources; and good human resource is produced through quality education.
Hence, Greece is engaged in the use of higher education as a powerful tool to build a knowledge-based information society of the 21st Century. Furthermore, in an interconnected global environment, Greek Universities place a strong focus on their extroversion and internationalization.
By blending the classical with the modern, more and more university departments in Greece are developing Bachelor’s and Master’s programs available to international students.
The country’s twenty four universities offer more than 140 Bachelor’s and Master’s Programs taught entirely in English, allowing international students to choose from a wide variety of disciplines – from theoretical fields such as history, philosophy, archaeology, classics and sociology to scientific fields such as medicine, biology, physics and ecology, and to technological disciplines such as AI, IT, computer science, engineering and telecommunications, to name a few.
Moreover, foreign students have the opportunity to combine studies, culture and leisure by participating in the study abroad program or summer school of their preference, since the sector of short-term programs in Greece is constantly evolving.
Popular study abroad cities in Greece include the capital Athens, Thessaloniki, Patras, Heraklion, Chania and Ioannina, but there are many other fascinating locations to choose from.
Students are particularly attracted to Greece for its rich history, exceptional food, its various music and dance festivals as well as for the Greek mentality – friendly and extrovert, Greeks are always open to conversation and willing to assist you.
Plus, it should be pointed out that Greece is a very affordable country compared to other European countries, and this is also reflected in the low tuition fees of the Greek Universities’ study programs.
If you’re looking for a unique study abroad experience, and you want to continue your studies in an emerging international academic destination as well as to immerse yourself in an influential and vibrant culture, look no further than Greece.
