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.
