The qualifications awarded by the higher education institutions partnered with IST may be recognised as professionally equivalent to degrees awarded by Greek Universities, in accordance with the terms and conditions of Greek legislation (Presidential Decree 38/2010), following an application to the Autonomous Department for the Implementation of European Legislation (ATEEN) of the Greek Ministry of Education.

Professional equivalence relates exclusively to the professional use of the qualification, including access to regulated professions, participation in public sector recruitment procedures (e.g. ASEP competitions), and other professional rights. It does not constitute academic recognition of the degree.

If you have previously completed relevant studies (at a Vocational Training Institute (IEK) or a university), these may be recognised through the transfer of academic credit, allowing you to enrol directly in an advanced year of the programme, where applicable.

The recognition of prior learning and advanced entry does not affect your eligibility to apply for professional equivalence recognition by ATEEN (see Council of State, Plenary Decision 178/2023).

IST staff remain available to graduates to provide information and guidance regarding the procedures for obtaining professional equivalence recognition of their qualifications.
