Campus life
The University is situated on a 16,000m² campus outside Thessaloniki, specifically developed to facilitate modern learning methods.
The city of Thessaloniki, named after the sister of Alexander the Great, is the second largest in Greece and has an uninterrupted history of 2,300 years. It is also the city with the highest numbers of University students.
Famous for its lively streets, vibrant night life and cultural signature, Thessaloniki is also the perfect cosmopolitan destination for any visitor. Throughout time, the city has been a crossroads for five different cultures: the Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman and Jewish.
Sports facilities
A complete education combines cultivation of the mind and improvement of physical health. “A healthy mind in a healthy body”.Sports contribute to the development of social virtues, such as collaboration, solidarity, consistency and responsibility; they can play a positive role in the socialisation process and they are a key factor for mental and physical balance.
Student clubs
The International Hellenic University has organized, together with its students, a number of Social Clubs, which are free of charge for all IHU students & alumni! All the clubs meet once a week on the IHU premises!
As a Greek state University, all degrees awarded are accredited by the Government and are recognized in the European Union and internationally.
The International Hellenic University is a Diploma Supplement Label Holder for the period 2012-2015.
