Higher
Education in
Greece
Study Abroad Greece.
Under
the terms of the Constitution of 1975, higher education is dispensed by
institutions which enjoy the status of legal persons under public law; under
the terms of Laws 2083/1992 4.4. 159/A/ of 21.9.1992 and 1404/1983 respectively,
Greece's 18 university institutions (AEI) and its 14 institutions of technological
education (TEI) are self-governing and under the supervision of the Ministry
of National Education and Religious Affairs which supports them financially
and is responsible for educational policy concerning them. Military Academies
(Stratiotikes Scholes Axiomatikon) enjoy the same status as universities
but they fall under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Defence. The diplomas
awarded by certain private post-secondary education institutions are not
recognized by the State. Technological Educational Institutions (TEI) form
part of higher education just like the universities but belong to the non-university
sector. They comprise at least two faculties subdivided into departments,
which are the main academic units.
