International Study Programs

Our University

The Hellenic Open University (HOU) is an independent and fully self-governed higher education institution, that was established to provide quality open and distance higher education in Greece. It was founded in 1992 and began to operate in 1997. Its headquarters is in Patras, but it also maintains an administrative base in Athens and smaller offices in Thessaloniki and Komotini, in northern Greece.

The University’s four Academic Schools offer accredited Undergraduate and Postgraduate degree programs. The University currently has over 37,000 enrolled students and employs around 2,400 tutors, all of whom hold Ph.D. degrees and many of whom are faculty members in Greek and foreign Universities.

The Hellenic Open University offers nine Undergraduate and over sixty Postgraduate degree programs. Twelve of these programs are offered in languages other than Greek (English, French, German, and Spanish). These academic programs are analytically presented in this website.

Rector's Message

At the Hellenic Open University, we are truly committed to fostering global academic excellence and cross-cultural exchange. Our commitment is rewarded by the consistently high position of HOU in Global Rankings. During the last years we have made an effort to create programs in languages other than Greek, in order to encourage students from around the world to join us!

Our international programs are no different than our other programs to the extent that they offer a flexible, inclusive, and intellectually rigorous learning environment, empowering students to pursue higher education without borders. Only the language is different!

Our strategy is to further develop our international profile. Through strategic partnerships with universities and institutions across Europe, Asia, and beyond, we will explore all possible ways to provide innovative joint degree offerings, exchange opportunities, and research collaborations that reflect the evolving landscape of global education.

Whether you are a prospective student or a fellow academic institution interested in a partnership with us, we invite you to explore our international programs and become part of a vibrant, diverse academic community built on the values of our University: openness, quality and accessibility.
