Technological Institutes of Higher Education (Ανώτατα Τεχνολογικά Εκπαιδευτικά Ιδρύματα)

Technological Institutes of Higher Education constitute a "complementary part" of the higher education in Greece, a term mainly used to differentiate them from universities. They confer 4-year bachelor's degrees but their graduates have still fewer (or different) rights in both the public and the private sector. All the institutes have a standard program of undergraduate studies that consists of 7 semesters of courses and a last semester dedicated to practical training and a thesis. They also offer master's degrees but they are not allowed to run doctoral programs.
