technological educational institute of athens
The University of West Attica (UNIWA) was founded in March 2018 by the National
Law 4521. The foundation of the newly established University resulted from the
merging process of the former Technological Educational Institute of Athens and
the Piraeus University of Applied Sciences. UNIWA is a dynamic and constantly
evolving institution that strives to fulfill its vision and mission, and to
achieve its goals investing in the development of modern teaching methods,
adapted to students’ needs and responsive to competitive labor market and
society requirements, as well as in its modern facilities and infrastructure
(i.e., teaching resources, classrooms, laboratories/workshops, scientific
equipment). Our University offers contemporary Undergraduate and Postgraduate
study programmes, which give our graduates the opportunity to acquire
specialized scientific knowledge, skills and competences, linking academia to
both society and the labor market. At UNIWA, there are twenty-seven Departments
operating under the academic umbrella of five Schools, covering a wide range of
scientific fields, such as social, administrative and economic sciences,
engineering sciences, health and welfare sciences, as well as food sciences and
applied art and culture studies. According to official data, UNIWA is the third
largest university in the country with regard to the number of undergraduate
students whereas it hosts over 57,800 students in total. The University employs,
on permanent basis, 608 faculty members, 138 special laboratory teaching and
technical staff members, and 345 administrative staff members qualified to
accomplish its high-standard teaching, research and administrative goals.
