Swansea University has been recognised by DOATAP and is included in the National Registry of Recognised Foreign Higher Education Institutions.

The BSc (Hons) Business Management programme from Swansea University is offered in Greece by IST College, following approval by the Greek Ministry of Education.

The degree awarded upon completion of the programme may be recognised as professionally equivalent to degrees awarded by Greek Higher Education Institutions. This recognition is granted by the Department for the Application of European Legislation (ATEEN) of the Ministry of Education (https://www.minedu.gov.gr/ateen-anagnorisi-epaggelmatikis-isodynamias). Once recognised as professionally equivalent, the degree can be used professionally in Greece, just like those from Greek universities. However, ATEEN recognition is not academic and does not permit access to further academic studies within Greek public universities. Nevertheless, our graduates regularly pursue postgraduate and doctoral studies at international universities of their choice.

A significant number of IST College graduates have successfully followed the legal procedures and obtained professional equivalency recognition of their degree through ATEEN.
