Further Information
A programme of university studies has two, parallel, strategic objectives:
- equip its students with the substantial knowledge required by their scientific and vocational prospects, and
- help them formulate a comprehensive perception about the scientific ethics and social responsibility of the scientist.
- The curriculum of the Department of Business Administration aims to the implementation of the above objectives and seeks to provide comprehensive preparation with regard to the vocational orientation of the student.
This means that, following the completion of studies, the graduate shall be equipped with the following:
- A theoretical background for the systematic understanding of the economy and of the general problems rising during the employment in managerial positions.
- Methodology for the improvement of the procedures applied for taking decisions and planning solutions, with special emphasis on quantitative methods and logical analysis.
- Techniques for the scientific and practical implementation of the above.
Through the selection, either of a direction of studies, or of a suitable combination of courses, apart from the special knowledge the students may acquire, the curriculum offers the opportunity of achieving the following general, for all selections, objectives:
- Acquire extensive and sufficiently in-depth knowledge of the theory, which helps them understand the general problems resulting during the conduct of duties at managerial positions in a financial unit.
- Train in the methods of organizing and expressing their thoughts and views, in order to be capable for scientific communication.
- Acquire knowledge that is extensive and of sufficient width and depth over the rational methods for the scientific approach of courses, with special emphasis on quantitative methods and logical analysis.

- Finally, transmit the necessary practical and experiential knowledge that allow students interested in postgraduate studies, to cope easily with their requirements.
The curriculum of the Department is developed and revised around three basic directions:
- Feedback on theory and practice.
