According to a statement from the Australian Embassy in Athens, degrees from 45 Australian universities will now be recognised in Greece.
The modification follows Greece's adoption of a new law, 4957/2022, that aims to promote knowledge exchange, job mobility, and stronger ties between Australia and Greece.
The Australian Embassy in Greece stated on Facebook that it will be "extremely simple and uncomplicated" to be added to Greece's National Register of Recognized Foreign Universities.
Holders of a Bachelor's Degree (minimum duration of 3 years), a Master's Degree (minimum duration of 1 year), a Juris Doctor or a PhD from the 45 Australian universities in the list can now expect to be granted academic equivalence in 60 days from the day of application to DOATAP (Hellenic National Academic Recognition and Information Centre)

The almost automatic recognition of Australian university degrees is a very important step that will foster job mobility, knowledge transfer and closer people-to-people links between Australia and Greece!
