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.
University of Macedonia comprises four Schools :
Since 1996, our department offers a rich, interdisciplinary area studies programme at all levels of the tertiary education in regional languages and cultures, history, politics, human rights and international relations, economics and social anthropology. The programme in English offered to Erasmus students is representative of this variety and is complemented by courses offered by other departments of our University (see the Study Guide (see https://www.uom.gr/en/bso/study-guide pp. 58-61).
In parallel, our four Research Labs, on Entrepreneurship, Eastern and Southeastern European History, Politics, and Culture-Borders-Gender Lab, organise various events throughout the year in Greek and in English (international conferences, seminars, lectures with prominent guest speakers, training, career days interventions in the public life of the city).

The MA in the Politics and Economics of Contemporary Eastern and South Eastern Europe -one of the very few postgraduate programs with English as language of instruction in Greece- is a thriving, interdisciplinary, area studies program focusing on the interaction between politics and economics within the social and institutional context of the region. Hence, it draws on a multicultural educational environment with students coming from all around the world and with different educational backgrounds. The program covers a wide array of topics offered through a wide choice of courses drawing on the main disciplines of social science, namely political science (politics and public policy), economics, social and political anthropology, international law, and cultural studies. In that respect, it offers a critical and multidisciplinary analysis of all current issues in the region, such as the politics and economics of transition, EU integration and domestic reform, ethnic conflicts and security problems, human rights and migration crises, international law, business and trade in Eastern and South Eastern Europe.
Research seminars (tutorials) are held regularly and students have the opportunity to present their (ongoing) work and receive comments/get feedback from members of faculty. Additionally, guest/invited lectures are offered on a regular basis by academics, diplomats, politicians, businessmen and journalists with experience and knowledge of CE/SE Europe & Balkans regions.
Finally, and most importantly, selected/qualified students also have the opportunity to continue/pursue their studies further at the University of Bamberg, one of the best universities of southern Germany, in the framework of the exchange scheme of our double Master’s program with the University of Bamberg. The double Master’s program has been running with great success over the last five years and constitutes a crucial asset for our MA program.
