Founded in 1990, the 18th state University established in Greece, as the successor of the Harokopios Higher School of Home Economics (Greek: Χαροκόπειος Ανωτάτη Σχολή) that was established in 1929. The university has ever since expanded to further scientific areas awarding bachelor's, master's, as well as doctoral degrees.
