Welcome to the Department of Social Anthropology and History!
Thank you for your interest in joining our academic community at the University of the Aegean and spending a semester at the Department of Social Anthropology and History in Mytilene through the Erasmus+ programme. Our department has a long tradition of hosting international students, and we look forward to supporting you throughout your mobility.
All courses in the Department of Social Anthropology and History are taught in Greek. However, our staff is committed to ensuring that Erasmus+ students can make the most of their studies. To this end, we offer English-language tutorials for all courses, through which international students meet with lecturers either individually or in small groups, receive reading materials, and complete their assignments in English.
You can view the courses offered during the current academic year (for both the winter and spring semesters) here:
In the unlikely event that the course list for the upcoming academic year is not yet available online when you prepare your Erasmus+ application, please refer to the current year’s course list when completing your Learning Agreement. You will be able to modify your Learning Agreement at the beginning of the semester, once the updated course list has been published.
Students joining us in the spring semester are expected to enrol in the following course:
- Social Sciences: Interdisciplinary Topics (700) – 6 ECTS
This English-language course features lectures by staff from all departments within the Faculty of Social Sciences (Social Anthropology and History, Geography, Sociology, and Cultural Technology and Communication) and offers a broad overview of contemporary research in the social sciences.
We also strongly encourage Erasmus+ students to take advantage of the Greek language courses we offer:
- Greek as a Second or Foreign Language (GEO001) [A1 level] – 5 ECTS
- Greek as a Second or Foreign Language (GEO002) [A2 level] – 5 ECTS
These classes are an excellent way to develop basic communication skills in Greek, meet other international students, and deepen your experience of everyday life in Greece.
