The Program promotes the study of Ancient Greek Philosophy in its full historical and thematic scope. It is one of the very few programs worldwide dedicated exclusively to Ancient Philosophy as a subject of systematic study and research. The Athens MA is a collaboration between three major Greek universities\, which have joined forces to establish a highly competitive Program:
