About
The Mediterranean climate coupled with its cultural history makes Greece one of the most desirable study-abroad locations worldwide. The country offers students studying abroad much more depth than its tourist hotspot reputation suggests.
The economic transformation of Greece has benefited from transforming both education and research activities in the country. Current trends indicate that students, scholars, and researchers increasingly choose Greece for their educational needs. The presence of Greek origins in every academic subject explains why so many students prefer Greece as their educational destination.
Through the European Higher Education Area, Greece creates an educational system granting degree recognition across all EU member states. Greece is home to both universities and technical universities, known as polytechnics, which provide engineering and scientific education comparable to European universities of applied sciences.
