The International Hellenic University (Greek: Διεθνές Πανεπιστήμιο της Ελλάδος) is a university in Greece. It was initially established in October 2005 and was based in Thessaloniki, Greece.[1]

History

The International Hellenic University (Greek: Διεθνές Πανεπιστήμιο της Ελλάδος) was initially established in October 2005 and was exclusively based in Thessaloniki, Greece. It was Greece's first public university where programmes were taught exclusively in English and it was composed of three schools, offering twenty-four master programmes.

The university's structure was reformed in 2019, now incorporating the three TEIs from Northern Greece (the Alexander Technological Educational Institute of Thessaloniki, the TEI of Central Macedonia and the TEI of Eastern Macedonia and Thrace). The final university structure resulted into nine schools and thirty-three departments, with campuses scattered across nine Greek cities (Thermi, Sindos, Kavala, Serres, Drama, Katerini, Edessa, Kilkis, Didymoteicho).[2] The main funds for the university operations come from the Greek state and the European Union.
