My name is Anna and I graduated from Athens University of Economics and Business. I have studied economics with a specialization in business. The programme was different from the one that I was expecting but as I consider, it was the best choice I could have made. It offers general knowledge about the science of economics without emphasising the practical aspects and that’s the only part of my degree that I would probably change.
On the other hand – the courses may not be as related to daily-business difficulties as I would like them to be – but it is offset by the spirit of most professors, who try their best connecting theory and practice.
The location offers to students many opportunities about how to spend their free time because it’s really close to the centre of Athens but safety is a disadvantage you can’t overlook.
Last but not least, the Athens University of Economics and Business has been participating actively in the Erasmus and collaborates successfully with most of the universities in Europe.
