According to the Greek law 4957/2022, holders of academic degrees awarded by foreign Higher Education Institutions do not have to apply to DOATAP for the recognition of their degree, as a prerequisite to continue their studies at a higher level in a Greek Higher Education Institution (MSc; PhD). Candidates apply directly to the University and programme according to the admission requirements. The University is responsible for the academic assessment of their degree/s. For this purpose, the University examines whether the foreign institution that awarded the title belongs to the National Registry of Foreign Recognized Higher Education Institutes and whether the title type belongs to the National Registry of Foreign Recognized Academic Title Types of recognized foreign institutions posted on the DOATAP website. If either the awarding foreign Higher Education Institution or the title type of their degree are not included in the above mentioned Registries, the Greek University will contact DOATAP in order to examine them. Only degrees over 180 ECTS are recognized. The MSc degree will not be awarded to a student whose degree from a foreign institution has not been recognized from the National Academic Recognition Information Center (DOATAP).

The admission criteria are the same as for the MSc candidates and upon acceptance they can attend up to 3 courses. The attendees will participate in lectures, practical sessions and exams and they will receive a Certificate of Attendance, not an MSc diploma, with the corresponding ECTS following the completion of the requirements for each module.
The attendees will not be PG students and they will not have the rights and obligations deriving from the student status.
The cost is set to 900 euros per module with the possibility of a 10% fee reduction for the second and 20% for the third module.
