“Unique American-like experience”

Elsa M

Greece,
Management Science, 2024

Overall

The ACG is a very unique environment! All the courses are designed and targeted accordingly in a way that we can really benefit and comprehend the managerial environment of the business community. The teachers are always willing to help and guide us through our difficulties! The campus is huge with amazing facilities, giving us the opportunity to do many different activities.

Careers

The careers office is run by two main advisors who are more than willing and enthusiastic on helping the students who ask their guidance. I have completed an internship that I found by myself, however I went to the careers office to seek guidance on some parts regarding the whole process and they really made a difference on my application.

Pros

They are really knowledgeable

Cons

They could offer more job opportunities on our careers database

Msc in Strategic Human Resources Management. Great variety of courses from economic to labor law, diversity management and selection process. The instructors are either Greek or from abroad, praticioners or with academic background.

Not so organized

Try to find an apartment near the suburb of Agia Paraskeui where the college is. If you can't just stay at the centre of athens, where pollution might be a lot, but there is no criminality.
