History

The International Hellenic University was initially established in October 2005 and was exclusively based in Thessaloniki, Greece. It was Greece's first public university where programmes were taught exclusively in English and it was composed of three schools, offering twenty-four master programmes.
The university's structure was reformed in 2019, now incorporating the three TEIs from Northern Greece. The final university structure resulted into nine schools and thirty-three departments, with campuses scattered across nine cities. The main funds for the university operations come from the Greek state and the European Union.
