Description

This procedure concerns how to determine the equivalence of the grade of foreign academic qualifications from the first (graduate) and second (postgraduate) cycles according to the Greek 10 point scale. Applicants whose qualification has been recognised may apply for grade equivalence.

N.B.:

The specific procedure does not apply to qualifications which have been recognised – and for which a decision has been issued – in accordance with Law 4957/2022. By decision of the Board of Directors of DOATAP (Decision No 15/22.07.2022), the grade equivalence of a first or second cycle degree is indicated in the decision recognising it academic equivalence.
