Student mobility takes place only through the bilateral agreements which are signed by faculty members of the University of Piraeus and apply for the academic year in question. One or more faculty members (Academic Coordinators) from each department are responsible for the bilateral agreements with European universities. The students who will participate in the Erasmus+ programme are selected by the Academic Coordinator in February and March for the whole of the following academic year (winter and spring semester). Students can find the names of the Academic Coordinators for their department and the partner institutions in the relevant booklet which is posted by the Department of International and Public Relations of the University of Piraeus.

In addition to the general entry requirements, the Academic Coordinators who are responsible for the bilateral agreements may specify further conditions, which must be published in the call for applications. Before selecting the host university, students must first submit an application to the Academic Coordinator and find information about the university in question. Guidelines regarding the registration process, curriculum, duration of semesters, availability of accommodation and other practical issues that are essential for students who wish to study abroad are available on the websites of all universities under the headings ‘International Relations’ and ‘Erasmus+ programme’. Students can also consult the information files of partner universities which are kept in the University’s Department of International and Public Relations during opening hours (Tuesday to Thursday, 10am – 2pm).

Moreover, the Erasmus+ programme offers students and recent graduates of the University of Piraeus the opportunity to complete a placement in universities, businesses and organizations in the countries that participate in the programme, in order to gain work experience in an international environment.

To visit the website of the Department of International and Public Relations and learn more about the Erasmus+ programme click here.

The Department of Business Administration of the University of Piraeus aims to offer students professional experience in addition to a strong theoretical foundation. To this end, students have the opportunity to opt for a Student Internship in place of two of their free electives (3+3 ECTS), in a programme that was established as part of the undergraduate curriculum over 15 years ago.

The Student Internship allows third- and fourth-year students to undertake a placement as part of their studies in order to gain work experience.

Only students who are funded by National Strategic Reference Framework (NSRF) are eligible for the Student Internship. Priority is given to students in the eighth semester and, depending on availability, to students in the sixth semester. If the applications from students in the eighth and sixth semester outnumber the places offered by NSRF, students will be selected in accordance with the following criteria:

  1. number of courses in which students have been successfully examined, up to and including the September examination session of the preceding academic year (accounting for 70% of the total score);
  2. foreign language proficiency (accounting for 10% of the total score); and
  3. average grade, up to and including the September examination session of the preceding academic year (accounting for 20% of the total score).

Students are ranked according to their total scores and a list of successful and reserve candidates is drawn up. Students have the right to raise an objection within three days of publication of the results. After three days the results are finalized and the list of participants is approved by the General Assembly of the Department and published, taking data protection into account.

Student internships take place in July and August at host organizations which are partners of the University of Piraeus. If a student who has been accepted for the internship programme opts to work for an employer of his/her choice, he/she is required to notify the faculty member in charge of the internship programme. On receiving approval, the student is subsequently required to forward the partnership proposal to the employer.

The Student Internship is funded by NSRF. As a result, students and host organizations are required to register (within the specified deadlines) with both ATLAS, the centralized internship support system, and E-Praktiki, the internship information system. Host organizations post internships and the Internship Office of the Department of Business Administration matches students to the available positions.

On completion of a minimum of two months’ employment, students submit to the Department’s Internship Office a record of attendance and an evaluation form which has been completed and signed by their immediate supervisor or the person responsible for the internship programme at the host organization. The faculty member in charge of internships subsequently uses these documents to enter the student’s grade for the internship. Students may only undertake one internship during the course of their studies. Students select the Student Internship as an elective in the spring semester of the academic year in which the internship will take place.

The Student Internship is part of the NSRF 2014–2020 operational programme ‘Human Resources Development, Education and Lifelong Learning’ and is co-funded by the European Social Fund.

The Department of Business Administration of the University of Piraeus aims to offer students professional experience in addition to a strong theoretical foundation. To this end, students have the opportunity to opt for a Student Internship in place of two of their free electives (3+3 ECTS), in a programme that was established as part of the undergraduate curriculum over 15 years ago.

The Student Internship allows third- and fourth-year students to undertake a placement as part of their studies in order to gain work experience.

Only students who are funded by National Strategic Reference Framework (NSRF) are eligible for the Student Internship. Priority is given to students in the eighth semester and, depending on availability, to students in the sixth semester. If the applications from students in the eighth and sixth semester outnumber the places offered by NSRF, students will be selected in accordance with the following criteria:

  1. number of courses in which students have been successfully examined, up to and including the September examination session of the preceding academic year (accounting for 70% of the total score);
  2. foreign language proficiency (accounting for 10% of the total score); and
  3. average grade, up to and including the September examination session of the preceding academic year (accounting for 20% of the total score).

Students are ranked according to their total scores and a list of successful and reserve candidates is drawn up. Students have the right to raise an objection within three days of publication of the results. After three days the results are finalized and the list of participants is approved by the General Assembly of the Department and published, taking data protection into account.

Student internships take place in July and August at host organizations which are partners of the University of Piraeus. If a student who has been accepted for the internship programme opts to work for an employer of his/her choice, he/she is required to notify the faculty member in charge of the internship programme. On receiving approval, the student is subsequently required to forward the partnership proposal to the employer.

The Student Internship is funded by NSRF. As a result, students and host organizations are required to register (within the specified deadlines) with both ATLAS, the centralized internship support system, and E-Praktiki, the internship information system. Host organizations post internships and the Internship Office of the Department of Business Administration matches students to the available positions.

On completion of a minimum of two months’ employment, students submit to the Department’s Internship Office a record of attendance and an evaluation form which has been completed and signed by their immediate supervisor or the person responsible for the internship programme at the host organization. The faculty member in charge of internships subsequently uses these documents to enter the student’s grade for the internship. Students may only undertake one internship during the course of their studies. Students select the Student Internship as an elective in the spring semester of the academic year in which the internship will take place.

The Student Internship is part of the NSRF 2014–2020 operational programme ‘Human Resources Development, Education and Lifelong Learning’ and is co-funded by the European Social Fund.

The Department of Business Administration primarily prepares students to work in a business setting. However, the diverse specialisms covered by the course provide students with a wide range of career opportunities. The main employment opportunities are in the following areas (not listed in order of importance):

  •  Industry
  •  Various service sectors
  •  Banks
  •  Commercial enterprises
  •  Self-employment
  •  Civil service
  •  Tourism enterprises
  •  Transport companies

In addition, the education received by our graduates enables them to work in areas where they are required to handle complex data and have a detailed understanding of the relationship between different functions and economic institutions, and where decision making is based on the interaction of domestic and international factors. These include:

  •  Small and medium-sized businesses
  •  Consultancy and market research firms
  •  Banks and other financial institutions
  •  Business and public sector research centres
  •  Associations, chambers of commerce, cooperatives
  •  Publishing in economics and related fields

  •  Professional accountants
  •  Chartered accountants or auditors
  •  Business financial advisors
  •  Public relations or human resources executives in businesses and organizations
  •  Liquidators or arbitrators
  •  Researchers

Studies in the Department of Business Administration allow graduates to work successfully, as mentioned above, in government services and organizations, where an understanding of legislation, respect for the law, and awareness of transparency must be combined with the need for effective performance. They are also equipped to handle relations between businesses and national and international institutions. Examples of employment of this kind include:

  •  International institutions or organizations.
  •  Central and local government services.
  •  Local government organizations.
  •  Private and public hospitals and other healthcare providers.
  •  Cultural centres and services.
  •  Private non-profit organizations.
