The National Technical University of Athens is structured according to the continental European system for training engineers, with an emphasis on solid background. The duration of courses leading, after the acquisition of 300 credit units/ECTS to a Diploma, constituting an Integrated Master’s degree, is five years. The valuable work of NTUA and its international reputation are due to its well-organised educational and research system, the quality of its staff and students, and the adequacy of its technical infrastructure. NTUA graduates were pivotal to Greece’s pre-war development and to post-war reconstruction. The graduate engineers who staffed public and private technical services and companies were and remain by general consent, equal to their European counterparts. Many have been elected to distinguished teaching and research positions in well-known universities all over the world.

For this purpose, NTUA operates as a State University with nine Schools, self-administered by the Senate, the Rector, the Vice-Rectors, the School Deans, representatives of the academic staff, and students, as well as representatives from other university bodies.

NTUA consists of 9 Schools, 40 Departments and 194 Laboratories. The Schools are:

Civil Engineering

Mechanical Engineering

Electrical and Computer Engineering

Architecture

Chemical Engineering

Rural & Surveying Engineering

Mining & Metallurgical Engineering
