You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 18.212.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 08:38, 2 March 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

== History<!--'Propylaea (University of Athens)' redirects here--> ==
((more citations needed|section|date=April 2020))

=== Founding and expansion ===
[[File:Otto of Greece.jpg|thumb|[[King Otto of Greece]] was the founder of the University of Athens.]]

The University of Athens was founded on 3 May 1837 by [[King Otto of Greece]] (in Greek, ''Óthon'') and was named in his honour '''Othonian University''' (Οθώνειον Πανεπιστήμιον). It was the first university in the liberated Greek state and in the surrounding area of [[Southeast Europe]] as well. It was also the second academic institution after the [[Ionian Academy]]. This fledgling university consisted of four faculties; Theology, Law, Medicine and Arts (which included applied sciences and mathematics). During its first year of operation, the institution was staffed by 33 professors, while courses were attended by 52 students and 75 non-matriculated "auditors".<ref name="History">((cite web |url=https://en.uoa.gr/about_us/history_and_perspectives/ |title=University of Athens – History and Perspectives |publisher=www.uoa.gr |access-date=2019-08-11 |archive-date=2019-07-04 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190704170630/https://en.uoa.gr/about_us/history_and_perspectives/ |url-status=live ))</ref>

It was first housed in the [[Athens University Museum|residence]] of architects [[Stamatios Kleanthis]] and [[Eduard Schaubert]], on the north slope of the [[Acropolis]], in Plaka, which now houses the museum of the university. In November 1841 the university relocated on the Central Building of the University of Athens, a building designed by Danish architect [[Christian Hansen (architect)|Christian Hansen]]. He followed a [[Neoclassical architecture|neoclassical approach]], "combining the monument's magnificence with a human scale simplicity" and gave the building its H-shape.<ref name="EIE">((cite web |title=University of Athens – Archaeology of the City of Athens |url=http://www.eie.gr/archaeologia/gr/arxeio_more.aspx?id=189 |website=National Hellenic Research Foundation (In Greek) |access-date=6 October 2014 |archive-date=8 October 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141008235335/http://www.eie.gr/archaeologia/gr/arxeio_more.aspx?id=189 |url-status=live ))</ref> The building was decorated by painter Carl Rahl, forming the famous "architectural trilogy of Athens", together with the building of the [[National Library of Greece]] (left of the university) and the building of the [[Academy of Athens (modern)|Athens Academy]] (right of the university). Construction began in 1839 in a location to the north of the Acropolis. Its front wing, also known as the '''Propylaea'''<!--boldface per WP:R#PLA-->, was completed in 1842–1843. The rest of the wings' construction, that was supervised at first by Greek architect Lysandros Kaftantzoglou and later by his colleague Anastasios Theofilas, was completed in 1864. The building is nowadays part of what is called the "Athenian Neoclassical Trilogy".<ref name="EIE"/>
[[File:Paparrigopoulos.jpg|thumb|The historian and professor [[Constantine Paparrigopoulos|Konstantinos Paparrigopoulos]], founder of the modern Greek historiography, was elected rector of the University of Athens in 1872.]]
The Othonian University was renamed to '''National University''' (Εθνικόν Πανεπιστήμιον) in 1862, following events that forced [[Otto of Greece|King Otto]] to leave the country. 
[[File:Άγαλμα Ιωάννη Καποδίστρια, Πανεπιστήμιο Αθηνών 5186.jpg|thumb|Statue of the first Governor of Greece, [[Ioannis Kapodistrias|Conte Ioannis Kapodistrias]], whose name has been given to the university in 1932, after the unification of the Kapodistrias University (theoretical schools) and the National University (scientific schools).]]

A major change in the structure of the university came about in 1904, when the faculty of Arts was divided into two separate faculties: that of Arts (Σχολή Τεχνών) and that of Sciences (Σχολή Επιστημών), the latter consisting of the departments of Physics and Mathematics and the School of Pharmacy. In 1919, a department of chemistry was added, and in 1922 the School of Pharmacy was renamed a department. A further change came about when the School of Dentistry was added to the faculty of medicine.

Between 1895 and 1911, an average of 1,000 new students matriculated each year, a number which increased to 2,000 at the end of [[World War&nbsp;I]]. This resulted in the decision to introduce entrance examinations for all the faculties, beginning for the academic year 1927–28. Since 1954 the number of students admitted each year has been fixed by the Ministry of Education and Religion, by proposal of the faculties.

=== Modern history ===
The University Club building was founded in 1930. Today the building houses the Health Services Office, the Meals Department, the University Club reading rooms, and the Students Cultural Association (POFPA).<ref name="University club history">((cite journal |date=2002-04-15 |script-title=el:Πανεπιστημιακή Λέσχη 80 χρόνια προσφοράς στους φοιτητές |journal=To Kapodistriako |publisher=kapodistriako.uoa.gr |language=el |url=http://kapodistriako.uoa.gr/stories/004_th_01/ |access-date=2015-03-04 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120318204018/http://kapodistriako.uoa.gr/stories/004_th_01/ |archive-date=2012-03-18 |url-status=dead))</ref><ref name="University club">((cite web |url=http://en.media.uoa.gr/student-services/benefits-provided-by-the-university/students-cultural-association.html |title=University of Athens Students Cultural Association |publisher=Uoa.gr |access-date=2020-08-15 |archive-date=2021-05-04 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210504153822/http://en.media.uoa.gr/student-services/benefits-provided-by-the-university/students-cultural-association.html |url-status=live ))</ref>

From 1911 until 1932 the university was separated into the '''Kapodistrian University''' (the humanities departments; named after [[Ioannis Kapodistrias]], the first head of state of the independent modern Greek state) and the '''National University''' (the science departments). In 1932, the two separate legal entities were merged into the "National and Kapodistrian University of Athens."

During the 1960s construction work began on the University Campus in the suburb of [[Ilisia, Athens|Ilissia]], which houses the Schools of Philosophy, Theology and Sciences.<ref name="History"/>

In 2013, the University Senate made the decision to suspend all operations in the wake of the [[Ministry of Education and Religious Affairs (Greece)|Ministry of Education and Religious Affairs]] cutting 1,655 administrative jobs from universities around the country. In a statement, the University Senate said that "any educational, research and administrative operation of the University of Athens is objectively impossible".<ref>((cite news |last=Korologou |first=Maria |url=http://greece.greekreporter.com/2013/09/23/university-of-athens-ntua-suspend-operations |title=University of Athens, NTUA Suspend Operations |work=Greek Reporter |date=September 23, 2013 |access-date=2015-01-29))</ref><ref>((cite news |author1=Helena Smith |title=Austerity measures push Greek universities to point of collapse |url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/sep/25/austerity-measures-push-greek-universities-collapse |work=The Guardian |date=September 25, 2013 |access-date=December 15, 2016 |archive-date=February 5, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170205154854/https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/sep/25/austerity-measures-push-greek-universities-collapse |url-status=live ))</ref>

== Faculties and departments ==

The University of Athens is divided into schools, faculties and departments as follows. The naming is nοt consistent in English for historical reasons, but in Greek the largest divisions are generally named "σχολές" (schools) and are divided in "τμήματα" (departments), furthermore subdivided in "τομείς" (faculties).<ref name="UoA Schools and Departments">((cite web |url=http://en.uoa.gr/schools-and-departments.html |title=Schools and Faculties |publisher=www.uoa.gr |language=en |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180112042448/http://en.uoa.gr/schools-and-departments.html |archive-date=2018-01-12 |url-status=dead))</ref>
