Why you should consider Greece as your study destination.

Masters in Greece represents an opportunity for postgraduate study abroad in a country with an unparalleled intellectual heritage. Having founded the Western tradition of academic scholarship over 2,000 years ago, Greece continues to be an important centre of higher learning today.

An attractive climate and a peerless academic history aren't all Greece has to offer. The country is also a vibrant research centre, with ongoing work in archaeology and classics as well as international trade and law.

 

Greek universities

The most famous Ancient Greek schools, such as Plato's Academy and Aristotle's Lyceum, were in the vicinity of Athens and usually located in and around sacred groves. Greek universities today use a slightly more modern infrastructure, but Athens continues to be a major higher educational hub in the south of the country, along with Thessaloniki in the north. You'll be able to study a Masters in Greece at a range of higher education institutions across the country.

Greek universities are organized into two broad pathways according to the kinds of training they offer and the level of research they carry out: The University Sector and the Technological Sector.

 

The University Sector specializes in traditional academic subjects with a theoretical focus. It includes general universities with multiple faculties, as well as institutions with expertise in very particular fields. There are around 24 institutions in the University Sector and all are entitled to offer postgraduate programmes at Masters Level.

The Technological Sector is more concerned with professional and vocational training, with around 14 general Technological Educational Institutes as well as one institution specializing in pedagogical training. Second cycle (Masters level) programmes are available within the Technological Sector, but their provision is generally more limited than in the University Sector.

The organization of Greek institutions into these two pathways is designed to match the most relevant expertise and facilities with student goals and social needs. This means that qualifications from either sector are equally valuable and your choice of institution will depend primarily on the field you are interested in.

 

Course types

Masters programmes are required to run for at least one year, but three months will usually be dedicated solely to the research and writing of a dissertation.

Masters students will usually have to pay towards their tuition and the exact cost may vary according to your citizenship. Where applicable, fees for a year of full-time Masters Study will be around €3,625, but some programmes may be as much as €15,000.

Internationally-recognised qualifications -As a full participant in the modern European Higher Education Area, the Greek university system has a degree structure standardized according to the Bologna Process.

Affordability – The cost of living in Greece is relatively low compared to many other European nations.

 

I hope you should consider going to Greece for your postgraduate studies this session.
