The evening included a number of speeches, a traditional group photo on the stairs of the Academy building, and a interactive workshop by Eva Pantelakis.
A total of 121 students have been admitted to the Master's programme, a considerable increase compared to previous years. We wish all new students success and of course a lot of fun in their programme!
