The primary mission of the Department of Philology is to promote research by cultivating the academic disciplines it encompasses and to equip students with the necessary knowledge and skills to successfully meet the contemporary demands of the labour market.

During its more than twenty-five years of operation, the Department of Philology has developed an extensive record of research and educational programmes, conferences, workshops, summer schools, and collaborations with distinguished scholars from around the world.

Many of its graduates continue their studies at prominent universities in Europe and the United States or participate in research and educational programmes at other universities, while others teach at universities in Greece and across Europe.

At the same time, the Department maintains collaborations with dozens of international universities and demonstrates significant mobility among both students and teaching staff through the Socrates / Erasmus+ programme.
