Greece is one of history’s cradles of learning. Education was first formally realized with the establishment of the Academy by Plato in c. 385 BC. Along with the Academy was Aristotle’s foundation of the Lyceum, which offered a broader curriculum. Today, Greece is among the new members of the European Union endeavoring for quality education. Athens boasts two of the best universities in Greece: University of Athens (UOA) and the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA). Greece has a total of 20 universities located in various cities and towns. The Hellenic Quality Assurance for Higher Education is the country’s leading agency that oversees the quality of international and higher education among its universities.

International students share their reviews on Greece as a study abroad destination on RateMyStudyAbroad.com. “I am addicted to Greece, Syros, Athens, and everything related,” confessed one study abroad student from the American College of Healthcare Sciences’ Summer Session in Greece 2010. “Athens steeped in history, incredible sites and Skopelos – white, brilliant color, blues of the Aegean and exquisite village architecture,” wrote one student (Island Center for the Arts). “Life is pretty good when lived between the classroom and the beach,” according to a participant of the Athena Study Abroad in Paros Island.

A few of the top programs in Greece include institutions such as ACHS: American College of Healthcare Sciences, Island Center for the Arts, Athena Study Abroad, and Artists on the Move, and University of London. read less
