The Rector Welcomes New Students
Dear Students
We are very
pleased to welcome you to an Academic Institution distinguished both in Greece
and internationally, and we believe that you will soon feel proud of being a
member of the University. In a recent evaluation the University of Crete was
ranked first among Greek Universities and also placed 120th
in the world in terms of the impact of research being done here.
Our goal is to provide you with the multifaceted, high level education which
will meet your expectations not only in terms of acquiring knowledge and skills,
but also in opening your future
professional horizons.
The COVID-19
pandemic has impacted University life.
We have, however, held fast to our educational goals and created the
conditions for safe education and training environments that comply with all
the necessary protection measures. All Schools (Faculties and University departments) have developed the appropriate educational
"tools" and infrastructure for effective distance learning as it is very
likely that the interaction and benefits provided by the face-to-face learning
process, under normal circumstances, will not be fully available in the near
future.
I wish you on behalf of the Academic Community good progress in your studies,
with safety and health, and I hope that your new course in the paths of
knowledge at our University will be a milestone in your future career.
The Rector,
George M.
