University of Macedonia, Department of Accounting and Finance at University of Macedonia

Once you are accepted at the BSc in Accounting and Finance, you will be assigned to a Personal Tutor who will be your first point of contact for academic matters and university-life issues. You will also realize that the University of Macedonia offers a wide range of services to its students. The Foreign Students Support Unit can offer significant help to international students with their smooth transition from their home country to settling in Thessaloniki as full time students. Also, within the University operates a Student Counselling and Support Centre, an Accessibility Unit, a Career Office, an Internship Office, among others, but also an Erasmus Office and a Physical Education Office. 

The city of Thessaloniki offers affordable options for housing in close proximity to the University Campus (e.g. within a 15-minute walk). While exclusive Student Residences are limited in Thessaloniki, there is a great choice for private housing in the market (for example: spitogatos.gr; xe.gr; spiti24.gr; tospitimou.gr). To spread living costs, you can consider sharing accommodation with another classmate or friend, which should bring down your budget at a very affordable range. Of course, costs will depend on your choices of the apartment, the location or the number of roommates, if any. 

The University houses a high-spec library, featuring personal study areas, a wide collection of international books, online databases and a dedicated PC to explore and download financial data using a professional platform. The Library offers training seminars to students on navigating through the electronic and one site collections as well as on issues of plagiarism and research writing. 

Both the University and the Department of Accounting and Finance offer IT support. The IT support of the Department deals with issues of student accounts and access and use to the Department’s PCs. The University IT support deals with broader issues that cannot be dealt with locally. The Department also houses its own server, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted remote access.

There are two public hospitals in close proximity to the University. AHEPA University Hospital is just a 10-minute walk from the University, while Ippokrateio General Hospital is 20 minutes away walking or just 3 stops using the bus (approximately 5 minutes). Private options are also available near the University.
