Courses at 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 Communication, and School of Economics. In all other cases, there are special arrangements for LLP/Erasmus students, such as assignment of essays in English with the use of English bibliography in small groups of students.
Information concerning courses and other academic matters can be obtained at the web site of the University http://www.auth.gr/en/faculties

2. Universiteit van Amsterdam
Study programme for exchange students
It is not possible for students to hand-in their final BA-/MA-/PhD-thesis at the host institution. Final theses need to be graded and supervised by the home institution.
Exchange students are expected to stay and study for the complete duration of the semester. It is not possible to arrive later than the start date of the semester, nor to end the exchange before the end of the semester (special circumstances excepted).
It is not possible to attend courses as an auditor. Students have to attend all sessions and participate actively in class discussions and presentations, and are also required to take the exam(s).
Exchange students nominated to the Faculty of Humanities are expected to take their courses at the Faculty of Humanities. Exchange students do not need to limit themselves to the study area of the exchange agreement and can choose courses from the complete range of study areas within the faculty. It is sometimes possible for students to take 1 or 2 courses at another faculty, but this is difficult and cannot be guaranteed.
Master programmes
Master students need to send a bachelor degree including a transcript of records OR a transcript of records with 180 EC in the study area to the Admissions & International Office Humanities. Acceptance into courses on MA level is dependent on the approval of the MA coordinator. An official English language certificate is obligatory to participate in English taught MA courses. Courses of selective Master's programmes (such as research Master's and professional Master's) are not open to exchange students.
It is quite difficult to participate in MA-courses. These courses are often fully booked and have very specific entry requirements. During the second semester hardly any MA-courses are offered.
Master students need to contact the UvA academic advisor to discuss their courses.
Special needs
The university is open to students with special needs, including students with apparent or non-apparent disabilities or learning disorders.
We would like to encourage students and our foreign colleagues to contact us as soon as possible if a special needs student is contemplating a study abroad in Amsterdam.
Students with children
Students travelling with children are asked to contact the Humanities’ International office as soon as possible.
University’s housing facilities is not open for students with children.
