Why Choose to Study in Greece

International students are fortunate to be able to choose from a great number of locations which offer Study Abroad Programs. There are three very good reasons why one would choose to study in Athens, Greece at City University: Greece and Athens have a unique history which has allowed them to make enormous contributions to western civilization, philosophy and thought. Studying in Greece allows students to savor that history, to visit important heritage sights and to experience how Ancient Greece has formed present-day academics. Athens remains at the crossroads of Western and Eastern civilizations. As the leading economic power in the Balkans and in South - East Europe, Greece manifests much of what is good about the new economy, which is based on emerging technologies and research and development within the globalised world.
Living as a student in contemporary Athens, you will have the opportunity to experience Mediterra¬nean life and customs and to benefit from living at the hub of a rich and historical region. As well as easy access to Greece's islands and historical sites, you will be able to travel easily to the North (Prague, Vienna, Paris, London), to the West (Rome, Barcelona), to the East (Constantinople, Beirut, Damascus) and to the South (North Africa, Egypt and the Holy Lands). Along with all of the climatic, historical and social attractions, you should be fully aware of the academic opportunities that are provided and described beyond. Remind yourself: Democracy, Harmony, Music, Mathematics, Gastronomy, Architecture, Logic, Euphoria and Psychology are only some of the important words that we use with Greek roots!
