Courses at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki are normally taught in Greek. However, there are courses in other languages too, especially at the Foreign Language Faculties, Faculty of Law (courses in English, French and German language), School of Journalism & Mass Communications, School of Economics and School of Political Sciences. In all other cases, there are special arrangements for Erasmus+ students, such as assignment of essays in English with the use of English bibliography in small groups of students.

Greek Language courses for Erasmus+ students

There are regular and online Greek language courses, which start at the beginning of each semester. These courses are organized specifically for Erasmus+ students with the support of the EU and are offered free of charge under certain conditions in regard to absences. You can find more information at the School of Modern Greek Language of AUTH: http://smg.web.auth.gr/wordpress/?lang=en


Students with disabilities

Social and Health Policy Committee of AUTH was established in 1997 with the aim to facilitate students with disabilities. Services have been developed and updated according to European and International standards. There are several fields that Social and Health Policy Committee is getting involved, always aiming to make student life easier so that all students can focus on their academic demands.

Students with hearing disabilities

- Interpretation in Greek Sign language everywhere in the campus of our University during working hours.

- Co-operation with Hellenic Federation of the Deaf in order to provide sign language interpreters for all lessons of deaf students.

- We provide transportation to students with mobility disabilities from their residences to the campus and vice versa in an everyday basis.

Services to all students

F. Information

1. Grading systems of the institutions

Aristotle University of Thessaloniki:

A scale of 1 to 10 applies to the marks of each subject in the Hellenic Higher Education

8,5-10

Άριστα (Arista) - Excellent

6,5-8,49

Λίαν Καλώς (Lian Kalos) – Very Good

5,00-6,49

Καλώς ( Kalos) - Good

0-4,99

Ανεπιτυχώς ( Anepitychos) - Fail

École Nationale Supérieure de l'Électronique et de ses Applications (ENSEA)

An academic period generally consists in two semesters, running from September of one year to September of the next year. At the end of it, a jury examines the results of each student and decides whether or not to validate the period. The French grading system awards marks on a scale of 0 (worst one) to 20 (best one). ENSEA uses this system in conjunction with the European Credits Transfer System (ECTS), where the credits are used as weighting coefficients to calculate an average level for each student.

Minimal requirements: Each course is validated when the mark obtained by the student is at least 10 out of 20. A decision taken by the jury can validate some students that are slightly below 10. This decision is exceptional and course-dependent.

Repartition of average levels: generally, 60% of the students have each year an average level of 12 or higher; less than 10 % do not obtain all the credits for the whole year.

Repartition of marks by courses: for each course, ECTS credits are given with a mark A, B, C, D or E. The F or FX marks correspond to failure in validating the course.
