== History ==
Formerly known as TEI of Western Macedonia, now University of Western Macedonia, was established in 1976 as a vocational school, and was accredited as a Higher (1983) and later Highest (2001) Educational Institution. A series of legislative acts solidified the equality of universities of applied sciences with Greek universities (Ν.2916/2001, Ν.3549/2007, Ν.3685/2008, Ν.3794/2009, N.4001/2011).<ref name="TEIWM Overview">{{cite web|url=https://www.teiwm.gr/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=440&Itemid=191&lang=en |title=TEI of Western Macedonia - History |language=en |publisher=www.teiwm.gr |date=2018}}</ref> On the 25th of February in 2019, TEI of Western Macedonia merged with the University of Western Macedonia, and together they formed the existing University of Western Macedonia with its main campus in Kozani.
== Schools and departments==
The university includes four Schools, consisting of eleven Departments.<ref name="TEIWM Schools Departments">{{cite web|url=https://www.teiwm.gr/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=445&Itemid=395&lang=en |title=TEI of Western Macedonia - Schools and Departments |language=en |publisher=www.teiwm.gr |date=2018}}</ref><ref name="MODIP TEIWM - Internal Evaluation Reports">{{cite web|url=https://www.teiwm.gr/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=445&Itemid=395&lang=en |title=TEI of Western Macedonia MODIP - Internal Evaluation Reports |language=el |publisher=modip.teiwm.gr |date=2017}}</ref>
