U-Multirank's unique 'Sunburst chart' gives an illustration of a university's performance profile across the five U-Multirank dimensions. These are indicated in different colours. For instance, the teaching and learning dimension is symbolised by the colour green. Each 'sunray' represents one of the thirty plus U-Multirank indicators. The longer the ray, the better the performance of an institution on the selected indicator: a full-length ray stands for 'top group' performance, whereas a short ray means 'weak' performance. A missing sunray indicates that the specific data indicator is not available. An institution's performance in an indicator can be identified by moving the cursor over the rays. A key guard for the sunburst chart is provided here .

The curriculum spans four domains: (i) mathematics, mainly statistics, financial mathematics and optimization theory, (ii) ICTs and business applications, (iii) marketing and HR management, and (iv) economics and political sciences. Teaching relies on ICTs, on-line course material distribution and homework projects. Also, students maintain close links with industry through an internship program which prepares students for their professional career. Industrial links are strengthened by the fact that increasingly many of our graduates hold top level managerial positions in Greece and abroad.

The Department’s main objective in research is to conduct world class research in civil engineering. The quality of the research output is assessed by the established criteria, such as their international ranking (consistently within the 101-150 top departments worldwide according to the QS ranking system), the h-indices of the faculty members, their paper numbers, their citation counts, and comparisons of these performance indicators with those of other departments in the country. The Department attracts impressive amounts of international and national research funding.

The Department's credo is that it should cover the entire spectrum of Computer Science and Informatics as well as Computer Engineering. Apart from wide range, we aim to provide lasting education, by focusing on fundamental aspects which remain unchanged or evolve at a very slow pace. In addition, elective courses on cutting-edge research and technologies keep our students informed on scientific advances. Our students learn to interleave theory and practice, obtain hands-on experience through extensive projects, and acquire a large set of cognitive and practical skills.
