Athens University of Economics & Business

Athens University of Economics and Business (AUEB),  originally founded in 1920 under the name of Athens School of Commercial Studies, was renamed in 1926 as the Athens School of Economics and Business, a name that was retained until 1989 when it assumed its present name and status.
It is the third oldest Higher Education Institution in Greece and the oldest in the general fields of Economics and Business. Up to 1955 the School offered only one degree in the general field of Economics and Commerce.

In 1984 the School was divided into three Departments, namely the Department of Economics, Business Administration and Statistics and Informatics.
