About the University of West Attica
The University of West Attica (UNIWA) was founded in 2018 after the merger of two metropolitan Technological Education Institutes in the Athens-Egaleo area in Greece, namely, the Technological Education Institute of Athens and the Piraeus University of Applied Sciences.
Today, UNIWA includes twenty-seven departments, organized into six Schools, covering a wide range of disciplines. The School of Public Health, the School of Management, Economics and Social Sciences, the School of Food Sciences, the School of Health and Welfare Sciences, the School of Applied Arts and Culture and the School of Engineering. The Schools’ fields of study cover a wide range of modern science, including social, administrative and economic sciences, engineering sciences, health and welfare sciences, food sciences and art studies.
UNIWA offers quality undergraduate, graduate and doctoral study programs in all these fields. It is the third largest university in Greece in terms of enrolled student numbers.
