Summer Course in Modern Greek Studies

The Θ.Υ.Ε.Σ.Π.Α. (Summer Course in Modern Greek Studies) was established in 1988 in celebration of the 150 years of the founding of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, following a decision by the University's Senate. The programme's purpose is to familiarize foreign students (Hellenists) with Modern Greek Culture, the Modern Greek Language, Literature, History and Art. It is aimed at undergraduate or postgraduate students and members of teaching staff of departments at foreign universities which teach subjects related to Greek Studies.

This programme is the largest organised in Greece, both with regard to the duration of studies and number of participants.
