National and Kapodistrian University of Athens - Programs

The National and Kapodistrian University of Athens was founded in 1837. As the first University of the newly established Greek state, as well as of the wider Balkan and Mediterranean region, it acquired an important socio-historical role, which was decisive for the production of specific knowledge and culture within the country. Until 1925/26, the University of Athens was the only university in Greece. It provided Greek society with qualified scientists in medicine, natural and social sciences, law and economics, humanities and theology. The National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, perhaps the university with the greatest prestige in the country, has established its own tradition in the field of sciences and creative participation in social events.
