The University also offers 17 MSc courses including an Executive MBA and an MSc in Information Systems. The Research Centre of AUEB was established in 1983 in order to co-ordinate and facilitate research by members of the University's faculty. Currently, with its 20 Research Units (with more than 120 research staff and 25 administrative staff) is the largest business Research Centre in Business Schools in SE Europe and one of the largest in Europe.

The ISTLAB/SENSE group, directed by Prof. Diomidis Spinellis, which is spearheading the PROJECTNAME~effort, is active in the fields of Software Engineering and Security. Over the last 6 years, SENSE has successfully participated and leaded in several National and European e-Business/e-Commerce R&D projects. The collective publication output of SENSE comprises more than 200 articles, conference papers, edited collection chapters, and books. The SENSE team specialises in software engineering and security applications and bases its work exclusively on OSS. Some of the recent achievements of the SENSE group include the publication of several research works in top quality journals (CACM, TOSEM) and conferences (ICSE) and the completion of the very successful FP6-funded SQO-OSS project. In addition, members of the SENSE group actively participate in the development of open source software used by enterprises worldwide. Examples include the UMLGraph UML declarative specification system, the CScout refactoring browser, the Alitheia Core software analysis tool, the GSS cloud storage system etc.
