Rigorous evaluation process
The ministry emphasized that the licensing procedure followed strict quality standards set by the Hellenic Authority for Higher Education. The evaluation focused on compliance with the academic practices of the parent institutions, adequacy of academic and administrative staffing, completeness of infrastructure and equipment, organizational structure, and student support services.

Additionally, the National Organization for the Certification of Qualifications and Vocational Guidance assessed the technical and building specifications of the facilities. For institutions based outside the European Union, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also provided input during the review process.

Next steps
With the licensing stage completed, the process now moves to program certification. The Hellenic Authority for Higher Education will evaluate and certify the study programs of each institution, ensuring that academic offerings meet national and international standards.

Minister Zacharaki reaffirmed that these developments will strengthen Greece’s higher education system, creating new opportunities for students while aligning the country with global academic trends.
