The Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, which bears the name of the Greek philosopher from whom it derives, is the largest university in Greece and is situated in the historic city of Thessaloniki, about 55 kilometres (40 miles) east of Aristotle’s birthplace, Stagira. In 1925, the university was established with a focus on the humanities. Its first department to be created was a faculty of philosophy, which began operations in 1926 and was swiftly followed by a faculty of mathematics and science in 1927. The number of subjects has increased over time, and the institution is now divided into twelve distinct faculties, providing a broad and varied academic portfolio. The university enjoys a solid reputation abroad and has a long-standing affiliation with the Erasmus Program for international exchange. The school is distinctive in that it gives overseas students who want to study Greek or learn the language access to courses in both Modern Greek and Greek culture. The Institute of Modern Greek Studies, a member of the university, aims to advance education through its publishing division, which creates works on Greek philology, literature, and language. An orchestra that performs globally and a wide variety of clubs and groups are just a few of the cultural offerings the university has for its students. The campus-wide “Student Week” cultural festival, which, despite its name, can continue up to a month, including dance, music, theatre, film, sports, and literature. All Thessalonian inhabitants are welcome to attend the event, which is not just open to students. The university’s main campus, which is located in the city’s centre and spans more than 33 hectares, has several academic and administrative buildings off campus, outside of Thessaloniki. We have a university farm, a wildlife museum, a botanic garden, a centre for Byzantine research, a seismological station, and a weather station on Mount Olympus, the highest mountain in Greece.
