The university is structured into nine academic schools, eight of which are dedicated to engineering disciplines, including architecture, and one dedicated to applied sciences (mathematics and physics). Undergraduate studies take five years to complete. Admission at NTUA is extremely competitive, and it is only possible to gain admission by doing exceptionally well on the yearly Panhellenic Exams. It is widely believed that the vast majority of top Panhellenic Exams students interested in science and technology choose to attend NTUA each year. Around 700 academics, 140 scientific assistants, and 260 administrative and technical employees work at the university. There are around 8,500 undergraduates and 1,500 postgraduate students at the university.

The university's nine academic schools (faculties) encompass a wide range of engineering disciplines, as well as architecture, applied mathematics, and physics.
