Due to current unfavorable conditions, we will suspend college operations for the academic year 2015-16. The information provided on this site refers to our courses as they were offered during 2013-14 and as they will hopefully be offered again during 2019-20.
The programme is franchised by the British University, which awards the degree.
Course Description
British Hellenic College’s postgraduate programme in Computing offers students specialization in modern methods of software development, so that they can work in related objects or to improve their position, if they are already working in computer related fields. Graduates will be capable to successfully meet their professional challenges and to occupy high esteemed positions in computing businesses in Greece or abroad.
Apart from all the technical knowledge, this course also offers administrative courses, according to the demands of modern businesses, which want a greater width of abilities, spiritual acuity and a capability to solve administrative problems. Graduates of the programme will be able to meet the needs of their technical specialty, as well as rise professionally in the business world, and face any challenge.
