We strive for excellence in teaching and research
In an era of technological advances, and economic and social challenges, the School of Education and Social Sciences highlights and leverages its role in social cohesion, social prosperity, and cultural development. The School focuses on the advancement of science and knowledge through scientific research and is committed to providing high-quality teaching in education, social work, and psychology.
Our history and our graduates’ successes drive our future. At the same time, our School, being a dynamic organization, adapts to new circumstances. We develop new, innovative undergraduate and postgraduate programs of study in cutting-edge areas of today and tomorrow, adopting current practices and meeting high-quality standards.
The mission of the School is the production and dissemination of knowledge in Education Sciences and Social Sciences, the identification and investigation of social, psychological, and educational problems, the education of young people for assuming roles in specific productive sectors of our society, and the training and education of executives in specific fields.
The School consists of two departments, the Department of Education and the Department of Psychology and Social Work, offering undergraduate programs and various conventional and distance learning postgraduate programs in the main areas of Education and Social Sciences. Special emphasis is given to the development of our undergraduate and postgraduate students’ research abilities through their participation in research programs and activities. The School offers doctoral programs as well, in the areas of Education and Social Work. A significant number of postgraduate students assume jobs at the University as researchers and teaching staff in laboratory courses, gaining valuable experience from their academic mentors, an asset for their future careers. Many of our students have continued their studies, while our graduates are employed in both the public and private sectors.
In an ever-changing social reality, the path that every young person follows is not an easy one. “The right path is uphill,” says Nikos Kazantzakis, thus each person is required to develop strategies, skills, and abilities to adjust and move forward. By striving for excellence in teaching and research, we provide our students with the necessary assets for a successful career.
