Music and history welcomed first-year students at NKUA Music and history welcomed first-year students at NKUA ====================================================== 8 december 2023 Youthful exuberance and melodies! This was the atmosphere at the first-ever welcome party thrown by the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens for its first-year students. All in the presence of Greece’s Deputy Minister of Education, Religious Affairs, and Sports, Ms Domna Michailidou. ![](/storage/files/img-02-1320x990.jpg) UoA © 2023. All Rights Reserved A few hours earlier... ---------------------- The party was preceeded by an awarding ceremony at the ‘Propylaea’, the University’s iconic main building. The candidates who excelled in the national exams for admission to Greece’s Higher Educational Institutions and achieved the higher scores to enter each NKUA Department were officially congratulated. ![](/storage/files/img-04-1320x880.jpg) UoA © 2023. All Rights Reserved The Rector of NKUA, Professor Gerasimos Siasos, heartily welcomed the new students as fellow members of the University’s academic community: > *This day has a special significance. Your admission to our University marks the beginning of a new cycle in your life, one filled with challenges, new experiences, hard work, and many rewards. You are the highest-scoring entrants to the NKUA’s Departments because of your perseverance, dedication to goals, sense of fair play, and outstanding performance in the nationwide exams. Your decision to study with us at NKUA is truly an honour! In you we recognize and celebrate excellence, a virtue described by Aristotle as 'all those simple or challenging things we carry out as habits rather than acts'. We also recognize and celebrate all our first-year students, who, through a combination of effort and performance, were admitted for study to the Departments of our University*, concluded the Rector. A musical celebration --------------------- Soon after the ceremony, all the freshmen joined together for a lively, music-filled open celebration. In charge with the entertainment was *Music Odyssey*, a band of the NKUA’s Department of Music Studies, under the direction of Giannis Malafis, member of the Laboratory Teaching Staff at the Department, and with the friendly participation of Giannis Nikolaou from *Lathrepivates*. **Join the party by reading the [original story, in Greek](https://hub.uoa.gr/reception-of-first-year-students-review/).** Related news ------------ - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/nat4dd-team-800x600.jpg?token=19580f3566e7e590a42ea7ae6661cd46)Det nya gemensamma CIVIS-masterprogrammet NAT4DD får ackreditering genom europeiska förfarandet för kvalitetssäkring Study programmes 5 oktober 2026 ](https://civis.eu/sv/the-civis-newsroom/nat4dd-joint-master-s-programme-earns-aqas-accreditation-marking-a-milestone-for-civis-joint-education) - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/2026-01-10-145317-800x600.jpg?token=bdddc6c1d1da89737850041c5fc0c227)CIVIS-studenter spelar musik för demenspatienter och deras vårdare Connect 22 april 2026 ](https://civis.eu/sv/the-civis-newsroom/musicians-from-all-over-civis-come-together-in-madrid-to-promote-inclusiveness) - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/nkua-cyprus_1-800x600.jpg?token=5a0c4f07a9c8c7ea5f80e2d0b2228df3)NKUA marks historic milestone with the official launch of its Cyprus Branch CIVIS Highlights 24 mars 2026 ](https://civis.eu/sv/the-civis-newsroom/nkua-marks-historic-milestone-with-the-official-launch-of-its-cyprus-branch) [ Upptäck alla våra berättelser ](https://civis.eu/sv/the-civis-newsroom) [ Vaccine development gains speed with the new European Plotkin Institute for Vaccinology ](%20https://civis.eu/sv/the-civis-newsroom/vaccine-development-accelerated-thanks-to-the-new-european-plotkin-institute-for-vaccinology%20) [ Human taphonomy: a unique and innovative Master's program launched by UNIL ](%20https://civis.eu/sv/the-civis-newsroom/human-taphonomy-an-unique-and-innovative-master-s-program-available-at-unil%20) ![CIVIS – Europe’s Civic University Alliance](https://civis.eu/build/assets/civis-CCpvK1nT.svg) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Europe’s Civic University Alliance ![Co-funded by the European Union](https://civis.eu/build/assets/co-funded-by-the-european-union-DSKLW1us.png)Views and opinions expressed do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union or the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA).
