The Department of Economics is the first department of the School of Economics and Management, which is located in Tripoli, the capital of Arcadia Prefecture. The School was founded in 2003 and it has been renamed School of Economics and Technology since 2019. The Department of Economics aspires to become a modern academic centre that will enhance academic knowledge and scientific research.

The Department offers a range of courses, which cover the fields of economics and finance, as well as accounting, economic geography and regional growth. Additionally, students have access to all modern means of education (computer laboratories, network connections, economic databases, specialized economic library, etc.), so as to use and apply scientific knowledge in the most effective way.

The aim of our four-year programme of study is to educate future economists with strong personalities and great respect for institutions and academic values. Our graduates share the ability of analytical thinking and their qualifications make them the ideal candidates for employment in the public and private sector, in banking and other financial services, in economic consulting and economic research. Our programme also prepares our students in the best way, so as to continue their studies in postgraduate and PhD programmes of study.

Our department members publish in leading academic journals (AJG 3, 4, 4* and FT-50), such as:
