[edit] Technological educational institutes (Ανώτατα Τεχνολογικά Εκπαιδευτικά Ιδρύματα - ΑTEI)

After the 2001 Higher Education Reform Act (N.1416) Technological Educational Institutes constitute a complementary part of the Public Higher Education in Greece. They are typically equivalent to Universities (they confer 4-year bachelor's degrees), but practically their graduates have still fewer rights in both public and private sectors. Among other differences they have is that they are allowed to run graduate programs only in collaboration with Universities - either Greek or international ones.

[edit] Private institutions

Private universities are prohibited by the Greek constitution.

In any case their degrees are not recognized by the Greek state as degrees of higher education.
