Aristotle University of Thessaloniki is a great place to gain important scientific knowlegde and form everlasting connections that can help young adults grow and shape their presonalities in a unique and powerful way. I would certainly recommend Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.

The Aristotle University of Thessaloniki is one of the biggest universities in Greece, having the biggest campus (I believe) in the country and being located in one of the most active student cities. It is not without its drawbacks: The buildings are either ancient or underdeveloped, as is the studetn cafeteria and student housing. The classrooms, which sometimes are not big enough to house all the students, are falling apart (quite literally), and the lab equipment is of the previous century an alarming amount of times. The bachelor programs are criminally overlooked in comparison to the masters and few and rare are the professors who actually care to make their subject interesting. The general idea, unfortunately, is that all the information is there, somewhere, and the students are the ones who need to work their way through all the information and turn it into knowledge, with little to no guidance from anyone other than their fellow classmates. It’s not all doom and gloom though. The bright side: the level of education is truly impressive, with a great range of both bachelor and master degrees that hold great power on both a national and international level. The univeristy offers a lot of opportunities to its students (though as mentioned they need to look for them themselves), like student groups, European Exchange Programs, International Workshops and Competitions and many more, that students can use to develop their skills and gather experience. The few professors that care for their students and are active in the student communities truly do help them reach their highest potential. It is largly in part to those student communities that I consider this university to be good. The campus is also really close to the city centre and is relatively safe to walk through. All in all, in Greek standards AUTh is one of the greatest univesities, but it still has a long way to go before it can offer an exquisite, enviable academic experience, despite its efforts and potential.

In general I would say that my university is good in terms of courses. I study Electrical and Computer Engineering and I think that both topics are covered adequately. The labs and their equipment, for those that I have attended so far are quite ok.

What I don’t like is the pretty bad professor: student ratio. Sometimes if you are not early for class you are not able to find a place to seat. There is little to no personal relationship with your professors.

Great program overall, but the facilities and the accommodation are in very bad condition. Most of the professors are willing to help and take the learning process a step further. Also, the lab facilities are a little old-fashioned.

I’m currently in my second year of study in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Programme and have taken 3/4 of my semesters online. For my review, I will focus on my school’s efficiency and ability to maintain the quality of the classes during the pandemic, especially during the past semester.
First and foremost, almost no actions have been taken to allow the students to gain in-lab experience, and there is no sight of doing so, which is quite demotivating and discouraging for young engineers.
Professors have been trying to keep up, however, no real alterations have been applied to neither the course’s syllabus nor the examination methods to make them remote-learning friendly, causing a significant amount of students to either fail a class or pass it without having actually gained knowledge and experience.
Additionally, there have been significant differences between the Student Body and the Administration, causing the latter to adopt questionable, even violent tactics towards the first in order to “restore order” in a very closed campus.
The reason why I’m choosing to focus on the hardships we’ve had to face during the pandemic is that I believe it’s important to have an indicator of an institution’s ability to adjust to various conditions, as flexibility and concurrency become increasingly important for any type of organization that needs to stay up-to-date, especially a university.
Finishing, I’d like to point out that this hasn’t always been the case, as during the first live semester professors were highly motivating, and the university, in general, was thriving, despite the problems with the Administration, that has always been and always will be there. If you’re thinking about attending an AUTh course, definitely wait until the measures have loosened enough to allow for universities to reopen.

It is a great university. I like studying at it and I like the professors a lot. I recommend it to others because you have to discover knowledge yourself and that makes you a real engineer. It prepares you for real-life where things are not easy.

The level of the university teachers and classes in general is quite high. There are multiple activities and possibilities except for the lectures and in total, the experience to be in this university is great!

Aristotle University of Thessaloniki needs improvements to its facilities , hiring more staff to support the academic manpower and to update its equipment at its science labs. Also it needs to get rid of bureaucracy because it makes delays in many cases. One of its best characheristics is the variety of active student teams that make bonds between different departments and make it more famous. Some of those teams are EESTEC, Aristurtle and IEEE.With their contribution our university gains prestige in international level.

AUTh is the largest university in Greece. Therefore, one can only be certain enough to speak for their faculty, which in my case is the faculty of engineering. Facility wise, it has its weaknesses but on the bright side it features multiple libraries, a server, computer and many other types of labs. The teaching as well as the rest of the staff is relatively good, skilled and willing enough to support the student body with their struggles in academia. My wider experience -which has been largely affected by Covid19- has been positively impacted by the extracurricular activities that one can take up while studying there, especially the ones initiated by students, such as cinema, photography and theater clubs, student organizations that promote personal development and teamwork like EESTEC, and various other kinds of workshops, conventions and special days. One also has to take in account that AUTh features a city campus, which makes it even more deeply connected with the lively vibe of Thessaloniki, where life has to offer something to everyone. Overall, I believe that in AUTh, as an engineering student at least, you get to make the most out of your academic experience, which is the least to say, interesting.

Just like most universities in Greece, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki has some really bad facilities, especially lecture halls, classes and toilets. However, you might find some nice places if they’re not always open for the public (e.g. libraries are actually nice). Professors are highly skilled and knowledgable people in their vast majority but not always interested in students or proper teaching. Therefore, classes sometimes are extremely disorganised and not of any value. The University is in the city centre, which makes it very accessible, and student life in the city is one of the best you can find. However, the campus is a pretty dangerous place in the afternoon and night hours so people need to be careful walking there at those times. Lastly, Aristotle University is considered one of the best universities in the country and holds some prestige, so career prospects are really promising after graduation.
