The History of the University of Macedonia
The University of Macedonia is the second and "youngest"
University of the city of Thessaloniki and it specializes in
economic and social sciences. It was founded by the Greek State
under the Presidential Decree 147/10-4-1990. In the past it was
widely known as Graduate School of Industrial Studies of
Thessaloniki which was founded in 1948 and started its first
operation during the academic year 1957-1958. In the academic
year 2016-2017 the University of Macedonia completed 60 years of
operation as an Institution of Higher Education in Greece.
Today, more than 12.000 students study at the University of
Macedonia in economic, administration, social and political
related fields. Our primary consideration is the maintenance of
high standards in terms of the University's operation. The high
level of graduates and professors and their participation in the
shaping of new knowledge with publications of international
standing, the innovative teaching methods, the modern equipment
and the qualified administrative staff constitute the factors
which define the university's quality. By developing new and
updating the existing Undergraduate Study Programs, organizing
high-standard Postgraduate Programs and giving emphasis on
scientific research, the University of Macedonia aspires to
become one of the leading Higher Education Institutions in its
fields of specialization in the Balkan Peninsula and Europe. The
University also aims at responding to the needs of society,
working together with public organizations and private
businesses, shaping partnerships with other Universities and
Research Centers in ways that complement and enhance its
activities. Through its diverse initiatives and events, the
University also contributes to the cultural affairs of
Thessaloniki and Macedonia by maintaining a continuous
interaction with citizens.
