FREQUENT QUESTIONS

Which class can I enroll in?

For language courses, the student is placed in an advanced class after an exam so that he is at the same level as the rest of the students in the department he wishes to attend.

For Indian Philosophy and History and Culture courses, the student should be familiar with the core values ​​of the Indian Subcontinent. Knowledge of Sanskrit is helpful, but not necessary.

Where and how are the lessons held?

The lessons are held in small groups (up to 6 students) at the Center for Indian & Indο-Hellenic Studies in Athens or via the internet. Lessons take place once a week and last two hours. Lectures and conferences for larger groups are organized in affiliated centers. Due to the pandemic, for the last two years classes have been held exclusively through the ZOOM online platform.

For personal contact between students and teachers, KIESA organizes small walking tours and social events at regular intervals.
