Although the official teaching language of AUEB is Greek, our University offers each semester a number of courses taught in English, in order to facilitate the Erasmus mobility. For a full list of the courses offered in English please click here.

All courses in AUEB are valued 6 ECTS credits. The incoming Erasmus students can select the courses they wish, totaling 30 ECTS credits per semester and be examined according to AUEB's internal regulations. AUEB's grading system is the following:

0 - 4: Fail

5 - 6: Good (5 is the lowest passing grade)

7 - 8: Very Good

9 - 10: Excellent

For those of you interested in learning Modern Greek during your exchange period, we are very pleased to inform you that there is such a possibility. The university offers free of charge courses of the "Modern Greek Language" to interested Erasmus students. As soon as the incoming Erasmus students finalize their study program, they can apply for the language course at the Erasmus office.
