Erasmus+ Ρrogram

The NKUA has actively been involved in students and academic staff mobility between European universities through the program Erasmus, which then continued as ERASMUS+. Since the beginning of Erasmus (1987) the NKUA has been actively participating in the program; More than 6,700 incoming students from 38 countries and 16,200 outgoing students have been enrolled in the program since then. Also, the Erasmus program gave the opportunity to 835 professors of the NKUA to strengthen their research collaboration with colleagues of partner Universities.

As regards student mobility, every year the NKUA encounters an increase of incoming students for studies and traineeship.

We continue to encourage this mobility since students and staff members that participate in Erasmus acquire valuable experience
when studying or teaching in diversified academic, social and cultural environments. Incoming Erasmus students are encouraged
to participate in all educational and cultural activities of the NKUA. They are also offered the possibility to attend free Greek language courses at the Modern Greek Language Teaching Center of the NKUA. Moreover, they are encouraged to attend the innovative interdisciplinary course offered by the School of Philosophy (Department of Theatre Studies) under the title: “Contemporary Greece: History, Arts and Letters”.

Finally, NKUA actively participates in other Key actions of ERASMUS+, such as: Co-operation for Innovation and the Exchange of Good Practices, Support for Policy Reform, as well as in Jean Monnet and Sport actions.
