- Possibility of digitally sending an application and CV for the selected position.
myAUEB is the first comprehensive mobile application in a Greek university, available on Google and Apple stores. For the design of myAUEB, the scientific methodology of designing new and innovative digital media was followed, as research was carried out on corresponding applications in universities abroad, recording the needs and existing information systems and determining specifications based on the needs of the student population. The mapping of needs and specifications was done using the human-centered design thinking method with the participation of volunteer groups of students, graduates and employees at the University.
The application, implemented in collaboration with COSMOTE and the digital marketing company White Space, is specially designed, according to international standards, to be easy to use and attractive, and has already gathered very positive feedback from the student groups that participated both in the initial design as well as in the test phases of its development.
On the occasion of the presentation of myAUEB, the rector of OPA, Professor Dimitris Bourandonis, said: “One of our strategic priorities is the provision of an upgraded university environment, which is achieved, among other things, through digital upgrading. Focusing on the OPA student, we provide a system with comprehensive information for all aspects of undergraduate studies, thus taking an important step in the direction of the University’s digital transformation.”
