Accordingly the Research Centre’s key objective is to host research in a broad range of areas including management, marketing, economics, psychology, IT, shipping, and hospitality drawing on our faculty expert knowledge, talents and skills.

It is an architectural jewel in Ambelokipi, of 4,100 square meters, designed by Alexandros Tombazis and reconstruction by Thanasis Chochlidakis. The renovation works have already started and in September we will welcome you to our new sophisticated premises.
- Spacious multi-use facilities: Modern libraries with electronic access to infinite academic data bases will provide scientific knowledge on all the fields of study offered by BCA. The huge lounge area will become the college's social hub, while the pioneering multi-purpose theater will be the center of cultural life and entertainment.
Sports facilities
The fact that BCA has basketball and soccer teams is probably predictable. These are the most popular sports and it is natural for many students to be interested. The fact that these teams have won the first places in Inter-College Championships is also predictable.
The students at BCA are serious in anything they do and always want to stand out!
It is a known fact that athletics builds the body and the mind. That is why sports activities at BCA do not stop, each year organizing tournaments in paintball, bowling, billiards and trips for sailing, rafting, even winter skiing.
