NTUA

The National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) is the oldest and most prestigious educational institution of Greece in the field of technology and science, and has contributed significantly to the country’s scientific, technical and economic development since its foundation in 1836.

NTUA is divided into nine academic Schools: eight for the engineering sciences, including architecture, and one for mathematics and physics.

The personnel of the nine Faculties include more than 700 academic staff, 140 scientific assistants and 260 administrative and technical staff. The nine NTUA Faculties, divided into 33 Departments, are: School of Civil Engineering, School of Mechanical Engineering, School of Electrical and Computing Engineering, School of Architecture Engineering, School of Chemical Engineering, School of Rural and Surveying Engineering, School of Mining Engineering and Metallurgy, School of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering, School of Applied Mathematical and Physical Sciences.

All the NTUA Schools are awarding a five-year Engineering or Applied Scientist Diploma degree, MSc degree and PhD degree.

The scientific research in NTUA is funded by both public and private sectors, as well as by EU sources.

The NTUA Senate supervises the overall Institution’s function in compliance with the state laws and Institution’s internal regulations. It forms the Institution’s educational and research policy, its strategic planning development, and reports on its regular activities. Moreover, it is in close cooperation with various Greek and foreign universities, as well as with other scientific and cultural institutions.

The Lavrion Technological & Cultural Park (LTCP), near by the temple of Poseidon, is a body of scientific research, education, business and culture. It was founded in 1992, as a result of an initiative undertaken by the NTUA. With its renovated facilities, the LTCP provides continuous support to research, education and technology. LTCP is essentially the Technology Park in Attica, which specializes in the key areas of modern applied technology, such as information technology, electronics, telecommunications, robotics, technology laser technology, environmental technology, energy, shipbuilding, and marine technology.
