Student / Alumni Testimonials

Elpida Theofanaki, BSc (Hons) Psychology student

Everything is top-notch, from the College facilities and programmes of study to the teaching staff and everyone in charge. The team –academic and administrative– helps students reach their goal. The Psychology team, in particular, is well organized and willing to help students and enhance their academic development.

Despina Hantzou, MA Counselling and Psychotherapy student

As a teacher without a degree in Psychology, the MA in Counseling and Psychotherapy offered by Metropolitan College is exactly what I was looking for. The programme is well-structured, intensive and highly effective; it is also combined with practice-based placement and supervision which is offered right from the beginning. Once I complete my studies, I plan to work professionally in the area of Psychotherapy.

Irini Koutela, MSc Psychology graduate

Ever since my first visit at Metropolitan College I felt a comfort and security that seemed to suit me. After researching extensively Universities and Colleges offering postgraduate Psychology studies in Greece, I decided to enroll on the particular Masters as it offered me considerable flexibility –especially given my tight schedule– extensive knowledge in the field of Psychology, a compact curriculum –notably in the Greek language– and a degree awarded by the University of East London. As a graduate, I feel satisfied that I chose the particular programme given the exciting professional opportunities that lie ahead.

Vasileios Tsotras, Economist-International Affairs Expert, MSc Business Psychology graduate

Metropolitan College offers top quality educational services. From my initial request for information until my graduation, the staff was always there for me understanding and addressing my needs and concerns. My classmates were both highly competent individuals, but also able to work nicely as a group. The degree I earned opened up new horizons for me both professionally and academically. Although I certainly worked hard during my studies, I would definitely do it all again! Yes, it was perfect!

Theoni Kyriakou, MA Special Educational Needs (SEN) graduate

I am really glad I chose Metropolitan College for my postgraduate studies in the field of Special Education. I need to stress the commendable academic support offered by my teachers who passed on their knowledge and their love for Special Education. The Library and the College facilities were keys to my educational experience, as was the support I received from the College administration throughout my studies. I believe the College opened up new horizons for me in the area of research. It also gave me the opportunity to present my research at the Pan-Hellenic New Educator Conference of (23 - May 24, 2015) at the Eugenides Foundation and at the international ICCMIT 2015 conference held in Prague on 20 -22 April 2015. Last but not least, I would like to express my thanks to Metropolitan College for helping me successfully complete my postgraduate studies.
