The University of the Aegean (Greek: Πανεπιστήμιο Αιγαίου) is a public, multi-campus university located in Lesvos, Chios, Samos, Rhodes, Syros and Lemnos, Greece. It was founded on March 20, 1984, by the Presidential Act 83/1984 and its administrative headquarters are located in the town of Mytilene, on the island of Lesvos.[2][3][4]
The university today comprises five Schools and 18 Departments offering undergraduate and post-graduate degrees programmes. This growth was based on the administration's belief that its sustainability could only be based on its potential to grow into a substantially large institute, initially in department numbers supporting its educational side and secondly in postgraduate courses in support of its research nature.[5][6]
Like all Greek universities, the University of the Aegean is a public university. The government funds its research and educational activities. The University has faced severe economic hardship since 2014 due to austerity policies that result in very little state funding. [7][8]
The emblem of the University of the Aegean is the Sphinx.
