Philosophy & Purpose
The Executive Programs are educational programs designed to provide the essential knowledge and skills that every business professional should possess.
The thematic areas covered by the Executive Programs include Business Administration, Accounting, Finance, Business Analytics, and Skills Development.
With short-term training programs, approved and offered through the Center for Continuing Education and Lifelong Learning of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA), our goal is to provide learning experiences that will help participants enhance their knowledge and skills and accelerate the achievement of their personal and professional goals.
Whether you aim to gain new knowledge in preparation for a new role in a company, improve your leadership skills, or develop characteristics that enhance your effectiveness, each participant has their own unique reasons for choosing the Executive Programs of NKUA.
Participants in the Executive Programs will engage with high-level academics and successful business executives, expand their professional network, and gain an international perspective.
The Executive Programs are not just standard business school courses.
The faculty and contributors come from the School of Economic and Political Sciences of NKUA, the oldest and highest-ranked university in Greece according to all major international rankings.
A key principle of the educational process is the interdisciplinary approach and the fundamental understanding of processes that increase the likelihood of success in all areas of business and organizations.
Our goal is to make the learning process a transformative experience for participants.
We aim to provide the necessary tools to accelerate career advancement and professional growth.
We believe that the knowledge gained through the Executive Programs will have an immediate impact on the businesses and organizations where participants work and will contribute to securing higher-quality employment opportunities.
To achieve our objectives, we have integrated several features into our educational process that maximize the acquisition and retention of essential knowledge.
All our programs are delivered online through a specialized learning platform. Within each course module, participants:
