This is the tenth year of the International Hellenic University’s existence. During this period, the IHU has created nineteen postgraduate programmes, fresh, dynamic and forward-looking.
The programmes are taught in an academic environment where the knowledge is researched, the knowledge is taught, the knowledge is disseminated within and outside Greece.
Our central target from th...e first instant has been academic excellence. How to achieve this was and is the major task and challenge as it involves the human element. How to recruit those with the greatest potential; to motivate them; to inspire them. Not only the academics but the administrators and professionals, who should work with dedication and harmony towards excellence, each in his or her own capacity.
Those elements, however, are only part of the equation. Another lively part of the equation are the students, our partners in the knowledge process. We have been privileged to recruit very promising students from thirty-eight countries, who have become very able graduates of the university. We are now in a good position to expand the numbers of international students coming from outside Greece and this is one of our immediate goals.
The final part of the equation is the wider community, the end recipient of our services. We have focused on academic excellence and on our students. Now we are in a position to show our third partner, the wider community, what we have achieved and what more we can do in partnership. It is my privilege to invite you to read the pages before you, either as a potential student or as a potential recruiter of our graduates, either as a parent or as someone who will be happy to see proof that positive developments are always taking place in our societies.
The International Hellenic University (IHU) was established in October 2005 by Law No. 3391 and is based in Thessaloniki, Greece. The IHU is Greece’s first public university where programmes are taught exclusively in English.
The University is financed by the European Union and the Greek State. The three central tenets of the IHU’s philosophy are academic excellence, practical relevance and international outlook. The University specializes in offering postgraduate programmes aimed at international students who are interested in studying in Greece but also at Greek students seeking an international outlook. The language of both instruction and administration for all of its programmes is English. The IHU’s target is to develop as one of Europe’s leading research and academic institutions. As a state university, all degrees awarded are accredited by the Government and are recognized in the European Union and internationally.
The University already attracts a strong international academic faculty and outstanding students from countries as diverse as Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cameroon, FYROM, Georgia, Greece, Lithuania, Mexico, Moldova, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, Sudan, Turkey, Ukraine and the USA.
The University is situated on a 16,000m² campus outside Thessaloniki, specifically developed to facilitate modern learning methods. The city of Thessaloniki, named after the sister of Alexander the Great, is the second largest in Greece and has an uninterrupted history of 2,300 years. It is also the city with the highest numbers of University students. Famous for its lively streets, vibrant night life and cultural signature, Thessaloniki is also the perfect cosmopolitan destination for any visitor. Throughout time, the city has been a crossroads for five different cultures: the Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman and Jewish. Despite some turbulent encounters, these merged and flourished peacefully, creating a truly cosmopolitan city in South East Europe, with a population today of more than one million people.
The University comprises three Schools:

• School of Economics, Business Administration & Legal Studies
• School of Humanities
• School of Science and Technology

With backing from the Greek State, educationalists and businesses around the region, the IHU aims to develop as one of Europe"s foremost research institutions and is focused on attracting leading academics and outstanding students from South East Europe (SEE) and across the world.
