The University of Macedonia (Greek: Πανεπιστήμιο Μακεδονίας or Panepistímio Makedonías) is located in Thessaloniki, Macedonia, Greece. It is the second largest university in Thessaloniki (following the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki). It currently consists of ten departments which deal mainly with social, political and economic sciences.
Before 1991, it was known as "School of Higher Industrial Studies of Thessaloniki" ("Anotati Viomihaniki Sholi Thessalonikis"). After the change of its name (and location), more departments were added expanding its scope beyond management and economics. A Local Committee of AIESEC (the first one in Thessaloniki) is in operation (has its office in the ground floor of the main building) and is very active with promoting AIESEC's scopes. Also a local section of Erasmus Student Network, ESN UOM Thessaloniki (the first section in Thessaloniki) is active in promoting, developing and supporting the Erasmus community.
