All programs are delivered in English at the Athens-based International Center for Hellenic and Mediterranean Studies (DIKEMES), a member of the Association of American Educational and Cultural Organizations in Greece (AAECG).
Since our establishment in 1962, we have offered university students an academically rigorous program of studies combined with the vibrant experience of day-to-day contact with the people, monuments, and landscape of Greece and the Mediterranean region. The programs we offer, enable students to achieve their academic goals through hands-on learning opportunities. Our goal is to promote learning beyond the classroom and to foster student engagement though study-travel, on-site classes and instruction from expert faculty.
Our program boasts an extensive range of academically outstanding courses and unique learning opportunities across a wide range of disciplines from Ancient to Contemporary studies.
We are dedicated to fostering an engagement with Greece that encourages personal discovery, growth, and cross-cultural sensitivity. Our ultimate goal is for you to return home academically inspired, intellectually stimulated, and with a passionate commitment to the furtherance of international and intercultural understanding.
