National Technical University of Athens

The National Technical University of Athens is among the oldest higher education institutions of Greece and the most prestigious among engineering schools located in Athens, Greece.

In 1837, the National Technical University of Athens was established as a part-time vocational school named Royal School of Arts, which, as its role in the technical development of the fledgling state grew, developed into Greece’s sole institution providing engineering degrees.

The National Technical University of Athens is divided into nine academic schools, eight being for the engineering disciplines, including architecture, and one for applied sciences (mathematics and physics).

Undergraduate studies have a duration of five years. Admission to NTUA is highly selective and can only be accomplished through achieving exceptional grades in the annual Panhellenic Exams. Students that complete their programs get awarded certificates of completion.
