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.
