Rhodes University

The University of Rhodes is a unit of the University of the Aegean, which also has units in the other Aegean islands of Lesvos, Chios, Samos, and Syros. Established in 1984, the University of the Aegean is one of the most recent universities in Greece. It was a continuation of the original vision of Professor Constantine Caratheodory, who had proposed the founding of a new university just after the First World War.

The campus of the university is situated in the heart of Rhodes Town, one of the richest Greek cities in terms of cultural heritage, history and natural beauty. It hosts the School of Humanities which features the departments of Primary Education, Pre-School Education and Mediterranean Studies. The School of Humanities is housed in two large two-story buildings, the former School of Constabulary and the former Kazarma Reggina. It has over 3,000 students, including undergraduates, master students, and PhD candidates.

The Library of Rhodes University, which has functioned since 1986, is a unit of the Library of the Aegean University. The central administrative unit of the library is located at Mytilene, on the island of Lesvos. It caters to the needs of students, researchers and the general public. The Library stocks a large number of volumes, local and national newspapers, foreign and Greek magazines, as well as music CDs and PhD theses.

The school reflects the nature, goals, and achievements of its parent University as a socially committed and innovative research-oriented institution of international standards. The University has a highly qualified and experienced teaching staff with research expertise, affiliation to international institutions and frequent student exchange programs.
