Welcome to the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. You may become acquainted with the oldest institution of higher learning in Greece and find out about studies, research, and each School and Faculty's various academic activities. You may also be informed about our rich cultural Program and the activities that occur daily throughout the academic year. You will find different types of useful information regarding the infrastructure and the services offered by the NKUA. The idea of establishing a University in Greece emerged alongside the Greek War of Independence, also known as the Greek Revolution. The National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, officially founded on April 14th, 1837, is the first University of Greece and the Balkan peninsula, and the Eastern Mediterranean region. The official language of the University of Athens is Greek, which is the official language of the country and one of the 23 languages of the European Union. The instruction and the examinations in all undergraduate programs courses are realized in Greek, while the writing books, the educational material, and the primary texts, which are distributed to the students, are in Greek. The students who enter the University as foreigners may attend courses in the Greek language for free to obtain the language competence their studies at the University require. This possibility is offered to the students currently studying in Athens for one or two semesters through the Erasmus+ Program. The language in which access to knowledge is achieved and the working language of the Postgraduate Programs that leads to obtaining a postgraduate specialty degree or to acquire a doctoral degree (D.D) is Greek, except if the internal regulation of the Postgraduate Program makes provision for the use of (an) another language (s) - as it usually happens in the "foreign languages" departments. The writing up of the doctoral dissertation for the Postgraduate Program or the dissertation for the doctoral degree may be realized in Greek or another language, according to the internal regulations of the Program. The bibliography that is suggested and is currently used in the Postgraduate is in Greek and other languages. For this reason, the knowledge of foreign languages by the prospective incoming students of the Postgraduate Program of the University of Athens is either obligatory or optional but desired. The National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA) is a learner-focused and research-oriented public University covering a broad spectrum of scientific fields. Its vision is to promote excellence in education and innovation in research, scholarly and other creative endeavors, and be actively involved with local, national, and global communities.

Yarmouk University (YU) was established in June 1976 by a Royal Decree. Yarmouk University has developed steadily into one of the largest and most prestigious state-supported educational institutions in Jordan. We currently have 27850 students, 936 faculty members, and 1740 administrative and technical staff spread over 13 faculties that offer 56 bachelor degree programs, 63 master degree programs, and 19 Ph.D. programs in various specializations. We also have 11 centers for research and career development. The University has carved a unique niche for itself in northern Jordan through the diversity of its programs, which aim to strike a fair balance between the humanities on the one hand and science and engineering specializations on the other. We hope to inspire our young students by offering various specializations combined with excellence in teaching, opportunities for community service and extra-curricular activities, and encouragement of innovation. Our aim is not merely to produce degree-holders but rather productive citizens with integrity, vision, reasoning, tolerance, and a sense of purpose. In recent years, the phenomenon of globalization, coupled with an overall economic decline, has resulted in an unprecedented scarcity of employment opportunities almost everywhere – Jordan is no exception. At Yarmouk University, we aim to combat this challenge by offering courses and training programs for both students and staff through our centers and by partnering with business, industry, NGO’s, and other local or foreign institutions. Several companies have established incubators at the university to offer students training and work experience that prepares them for the broader job market and creates a climate conducive to entrepreneurship and innovation. Research is also one of Yarmouk University’s top priorities, especially within Jordan’s social, economic, environmental, and developmental needs. Several research projects are currently underway in partnership with local and international institutions. Also, the recent establishment of technology transfer offices in public universities, including ours, has served to encourage the commercialization of research findings and inventions – a development that many researchers find appealing. Much has been accomplished over the past three and a half decades since establishing this outstanding institution, but much still needs to be done. When the University was established in 1976, the then Faculty of Arts and Science included specializations in science, arts, economics, and administrative sciences. The departments of Arabic, English, Humanities, and Social Sciences were the core of the Faculty of Arts, established in 1981. View full university

UJ is looking to reach the highest level of excellence. However, it is also trying to apply the principles of total quality management and use the latest information technologies in its programs and strategies. The University of Jordan has achieved advanced positions in various international rankings: UJ is one of the best 600 Universities worldwide, one of the best 10 Arab universities, and it has recently achieved four stars according to QS. Also, UJ has gained many international accreditations for its programs, such as medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, engineering, rehabilitation, and other disciplines. Our mission is to provide students with fulfilling learning experiences, conduct knowledge-producing research, and build strong social ties within an environment conducive to creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurship making efficient use of resources and forging fruitful partnerships. The University of Jordan is celebrating its Golden Jubilee amid ever-growing global challenges to higher education. Over the past 50 years, the University has made great strides in becoming Jordan's leading and most comprehensive University that has provided successive generations with a solid education. That has contributed fundamentally to the making of modern Jordan. Much has been accomplished, and much is currently being done. There remains, however, much more to be done and ample space for improvement. The challenges of the times and the needs of a knowledge-based society make it imperative that the University charts new strategies for meeting the challenges and gaining global recognition. Excellence in education has been and will remain a priority for the University. However, there is a need to streamline academic programs in a manner that guarantees continued excellence while simultaneously meeting the demands of the rapidly-changing domestic, regional, and global job markets. The University will continue adapting to the internationally accepted best practices, and its faculty members will be encouraged to adopt blended-learning approaches. It will also vigorously seek to prepare its students for entrepreneurial careers by spreading entrepreneurship culture through integrating entrepreneurship education into curricula campus-wide. The University will focus on developing research capacity to meet domestic, regional, and global challenges. Providing a conducive research environment that promotes world-class scholarly activities is a high priority. The University's quest for global recognition necessitates establishing and nurturing Centers of Excellence that maintain a balance of basic and applied research and promote industry-oriented applied research and commercialization of research and development. Encouraging and supporting Business Incubators on- and off-campus will be high on the University's agenda. Faculty members will be encouraged to get involved and take initiatives in this regard. The University will also focus on transforming its students, faculty, and staff into global citizens capable of engaging not only each other but also people and cultures worldwide. We will seek to enhance campus diversity and further internationalize the student and faculty bodies. We envision the University as an intellectual and cultural melting pot that reflects positively on the values, lives, and careers of those affiliated with it. Students and faculty alike will be encouraged to contribute to University policy-making rather than be on the receiving end. With the University's internationalization initiatives, the dedication and hard work of its academic and administrative staff, and its students' excellence and creativity, the University will continue to lead the society and be Jordan's laboratory for innovation cradle of science and culture. They will pursue initiatives that will propel it towards joining the world-renowned universities' league in the not-so-distant future. View full university

Our Values: Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam" For the Greater Glory of God is the Society of Jesus's motto. This motto identifies the purpose of all endeavors. It is not merely doing good, but rather doing what will better or more effectively reveal God's active presence in our work and our world. Discerning what is better is always an essential principle of our decision-making. Academic Excellence - In 1547, the first Jesuits were invited to begin a college in Messina, Italy, to allow the young men to receive the same quality of education that the early Jesuits promoted in training their own. Georgetown University is a descendant of this original commitment to education. Academic excellence describes the great importance that we have placed on the mind's life as a means for uncovering truth and discovering meaning. Georgetown's emphasis on academic excellence is reflected in our faculty and students' careful selection, the quality of teaching, and the importance of research on campus. It has led to our recognition as one of the top 25 universities in the United States. Educating the Whole Person - St. Ignatius believed that God could be discovered in every human endeavor, in every facet of learning and experience, and every field of study. He promoted the development of each person's spiritual, intellectual, artistic, social, and physical aspects. Georgetown's commitment to educating the whole person is evident in our strong core curriculum, our wide array of academic programs, and our commitment to living and learning in spiritual communities. Faith and Justice - The Jesuits made a significant institutional commitment to "the service of faith and the promotion of justice," which obligates us to address the social realities of poverty, oppression, and injustice. While not all Georgetown community members would base their commitment to justice on religious principles, our institutional commitment to promote justice in the world grounds and inspires numerous University projects with the world's underserved communities. Interreligious Understanding - The Georgetown University community comprises a wide variety of religious traditions; we support various faith-based student groups, a variety of affiliated ministries, and numerous interreligious events and services. Also, the University sponsors the Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding, the Program for Jewish Civilization, the Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs, and the Catholic Studies Program. The community in Diversity - The Georgetown community welcomes and sustains rich diversity among our students, faculty, and staff. Approximately 52 percent of our student body are women, 22 percent of our undergraduate students are from a minority ethnic background, and over 2,000 students, faculty, and researchers come from 130 foreign countries. At Qatar's campus, the students comprise about 50 different nationalities from a diverse variety of faiths and cultural backgrounds. View full university

The University of Oxford aims to lead the world in research and education. We seek to do this in ways that benefit society on a national and a global scale. Throughout this Plan, we will build on the University's long traditions of independent scholarship and academic freedom while fostering a culture in which innovation plays an important role. The University of Oxford's distinctive structure, born of its history, is a source of strength. Its colleges offer supportive environments that are supportive of individual scholars and characterized by a defining and enduring sense of community. The personal sense of academic identity that they provide is life-long. To develop our capacity to generate and share knowledge in the UK, Europe, and globally, ensuring significant contributions to public policy-making and economic growth. To work effectively with other institutions and organizations, such partnerships can lead to outstanding research and teaching. To fulfill the aims, no potential student should be deterred from applying to Oxford by financial or other barriers, and that financial difficulties should hamper no student's success. To recruit and retain the best academic staff and ensure that under-represented groups have equality of opportunity in recruitment, personal development, and career progression in all employment areas in the University. We will monitor progress against our priorities, commitments, and aims using relevant performance indicators, benchmarks, and targets. Through this, we will maintain focus on the Strategic Plan, ensuring that it continues to meet academic needs, enables us to respond to the external environment, and is updated as appropriate. The University of Oxford is active worldwide across the broadest range of disciplines. With Oxford University Press, our global involvement in education from the pre-school level onwards puts us in a unique position to influence and engage with the world. This global reach in itself draws students and staff of the highest international caliber to the University, taking Oxford's way of engaging with the world with them when they depart. We will seek opportunities to coordinate the University's activities more effectively, and we will build upon Oxford's excellence in, and commitment to, the delivery of education for all. A marvelous university conveys the knowledge created by its community and is open to new ideas generated elsewhere. We will maintain the freedom for individuals and research groups to decide what to research while clarifying where and how to access Oxford expertise. We will seek to develop external collaborations, noting that these may be most effective in those areas where research and teaching strengths are complimentary while supporting connections between research groups at the level of individual projects. The University's extensive network of libraries and museums offers unique opportunities to learn and engage with resources. We will continue to enhance our collections to the benefit of future generations. Access to the University's collections will be improved through programmatic digitization, extending the appreciation of Oxford's role in preserving and sharing the record of human existence and cultural achievement. Access to our museums, galleries, and scientific collections contributes significantly to our public engagement on regional, national and global scales, and we will continue to promote this through programs of events and exhibitions and by fully exploiting the opportunities offered by the web, social media, and other innovative modes of transmission. We will keep under review our undergraduate and graduate admissions processes to ensure equal treatment for all applicants and the effectiveness and consistency of good practice. These reviews will encompass policy on attracting and identifying the best home and international students and policy on continuing education and part-time students' admission. We will seek to ensure that teaching and assessment at Oxford provide an equal opportunity for all students to achieve and demonstrate their full academic potential. To inform this work, we will monitor the academic progress and outcomes amongst students from different backgrounds. We are committed to providing professional development training of the highest quality through Master's and other programs in identified areas and critical professions. We will also explicitly identify the professional and employability skills inherent in our courses, develop further opportunities for funded internships, and encourage students to engage with wider communities while still at Oxford. Strengthening Oxford's global and digital online presence, as signaled in our new priorities, will ensure students studying at Oxford have improved access to materials. We will develop a digital education strategy that builds on our online learning expertise to communicate knowledge created within the University. This will benefit all students, whether studying full-time, part-time, or through the flexible courses offered by the Department for Continuing Education, as well as staff, alumni, and broader society.
