National and Kapodistrian University of Athens - UOA (reviews)

Studying Physics in the National Kapodistrian University of Athens was one of the worst experiences of my life. Its a soul sucking, life draining, cancerous cell of a department in an otherwise accredited and internationally recognized university. 95% of the professors are remarkably indifferent about the students, student development, research, politics of the department or any aspect you might think of regarding the operation of the department. They are unqualified sadistic soulless drones that care for nothing more other that holding the title of professor and getting paid their mere meager salary. Shame on all of the, shame on the department. Average graduation time is almost 7 years , greek law now dictates maximum time of study to be 6 years. Ill happily watch this piece of filth of a department crumble slowly. Students will lessen each year (they already have) and the minimum grade required to be accepted will drop to dirt low (already from 16.50/20.00 to 14.00/20.00). Your punishment will be that you will be forced to live in the reality you created.

The LL.M. program at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens benefits from a strong academic staff, with most professors being highly knowledgeable and committed to their fields. The quality of teaching is generally very good. However, the infrastructure is a significant weakness, with some classrooms lacking proper maintenance, including issues with heating and windows. The university does not offer realistic accommodation options, meaning students usually rely on private rentals. Additionally, there is no unified campus, as classes are spread across nearby buildings within the city.

Attending the classes on the years I was studying made me rethink carefully what I needed to do to move forward with my career.
My professors were some of the best and influential (to me) people that I have met.

I would say that the professors at this university are what truly hold it together. Most of them are highly skilled and dedicated to their work. The university buildings have a beautiful exterior; however, in many cases, essential features are missing—for example, proper central heating and cooling. In some classrooms, entire windows are absent, making it unbearably cold during the winter. Furthermore, there are significant administrative issues that create a very difficult experience for students, including excessive bureaucracy and extremely poor scheduling overall.
