The School of Drama, Faculty of Fine Arts, AUTH welcomes the incoming ERASMUS students and exerts all possible efforts to make their study period fruitful and productive.
The international students should be aware that the courses at the School of Drama are taught in Greek. An English summary of the curriculum and a list of the courses taught can be found here.

The incoming students have the following study options:
• they can enroll in a practical course (Costume and Set Design, Directing, Dance, Music etc), with mandatory attendance.
