YOUR FUTURE

MAKE YOURSELF COUNT 
AS A CLINICIAN OR A SURGEON 
OR A MEDICAL RESEARCHER. 

SCIENTIFIC MEDICINE WAS BORN 
AND ESTABLISHED IN GREECE 
AND OUR FIRST-HAND ADVANTAGE 
WILL INSPIRE AND GUIDE YOU.

Wherever you finally choose to study medicine, it is all irrevocably based on pioneering Greek physicians and practices, who freed medicine from prejudice and superstition and ushered in the framework for modern medicine. The sanctuaries of Asclepius were the first healing places, Aristotle and his school established research methods and Galen of Pergamon was the physician who collected and systematised all the ancient medical knowledge which spread throughout the world in numerous languages. The list of Greek medical entrepreneurialism goes on and on, right up, 2,500 years later, to the present day.

POSTGRADUATE STUDIES

Postgraduate studies today play a decisive role in the achievement of educational, cultural, social and economic goals of many universities. Aiming at broadening and underpinning the knowledge offered to university graduates in specific disciplines of the arts and sciences, the Postgraduate Studies Programmes have been structured and are offered in most of the Faculties/Schools of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, that award either a Postgraduate Diploma (Master’s Degree) or a Doctorate Diploma (PhD). Currently, there are many Postgraduate Study Programmes operating in the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, including a number of  Inter-departmental and Inter-institutional ones, and also some in collaboration with other universities in Greece and abroad. There is an appropriate body for recognition of a foreign University degree and that is the Inter-University Center for Recognition of Foreign Academic Titles.
