About Us

The Athens University of Economics and Business (AUEB) is the oldest and most prestigious University in Greece in the areas of Economics and Business Administration. It has always been on the forefront of education and research, and has produced by far the largest number of Greek industry leaders, entrepreneurs, and managers, as well as faculty members and researchers in its areas of interest; it has thus played a key role in the development of the country.

 

Situated at the crossroads of three continents, AUEB also offers an exceptional exposure to the world, bringing together issues and challenges from the European Union, the fast developing Balkan countries, and the growing giants of Asia. Its very strong Erasmus program, the well structured international graduate programs, as well as its other extensive international activities that include the Business Confucius Institute, the various summer programs, the joint training programs with other international schools, and all other international activities render Greece and AUEB an excellent place to get international exposure and understand globalization in practice. AUEB is an institution open to the global market and society and collaborates with more than 250 foreign Universities and institutions within the context of its educational programs, its research and other offered services. At the same time, AUEB actively participates in international organizations, fora and networks that aim to improve Higher Education, as well as in initiatives that aim at strengthening international collaborations. As a result, AUEB is consistently placed highly in international rankings such as the QS, Times Higher Education, Eduniversal and others, and thus is able to develop international collaborations with prestigious organizations. During the recent external evaluation performed by HQAA, AUEB was recognized as “worthy of merit“ for its exceptionally well-developed internationalization strategy.Internationally oriented as it is, AUEB currently offers Masters programs of international outreach, enrolling students not just from the European Union but also from the Balkans, the Middle East, the United States, Latin America, Africa and China.
