The University of Patras was founded in the city of Patras in 1964 as a self-administered Academic Institution under the supervision of the Greek Government. The University was established primarily with the intention to concentrate on science, technology, economics, business administration and social sciences. Presently, the University of Patras remains one of the best well known Universities in Greece with an excellent reputation amongst the International and European Scientific Community, which justifies the vision and mission for the establishment of the University of Patras.
