In her own words:
❝ My academic journey at Aegean College, in collaboration with the University of Essex, began with the BSc in Business Administration (2020–2023) and continued with my specialisation in MSc Financial Technology – FinTech (2023–2025).
My overall academic and educational experience was entirely positive and played a decisive role in both my personal and professional development. The programmes of study were of a high academic standard and closely aligned with the demands of the modern labor market. What stood out to me throughout my studies was the continuous academic support provided by the distinguished teaching staff, as well as the College’s state-of-the-art facilities, including innovative laboratories and a fully equipped library.
All these factors contributed significantly to the acquisition of solid theoretical knowledge and its practical application, while also enhancing the development of academic and professional skills. My studies in Business Administration established a strong theoretical foundation, fostering strategic thinking and leadership skills. At the same time, my specialisation in Financial Technology equipped me with the necessary expertise for digital transformation and the automation of financial processes.
The impact of these skills on my professional development has been pivotal. They formed the cornerstone for the co-founding of the construction company Kanellopoulos Construction Group, where I am currently active as a co-owner. In this role, I consistently apply the integration of theoretical knowledge and practical implementation, making strategic decisions and adopting innovative financial practices that optimise the organisation’s resources.
I wholeheartedly recommend Aegean College to those seeking a modern and dynamic learning environment that prepares well-qualified professionals with a strong connection to the labour market. It is the ideal choice for individuals who aim for studies with tangible and measurable professional outcomes. ❞
Sofia Kanellopoulou’s journey is a compelling example of how high-quality academic education, when combined with practical application and contemporary skills, can serve as a springboard for meaningful professional success.
