The Greek Ministry of Education, the British Embassy and the British Council are excited to announce the launch of the ambitious UK-Greece Strategic Partnership in Education to foster collaborations between UK and Greek universities programme.

This programme is a partnership between the Greek Ministry of Education and Religious Affairs, the British Council Greece and the British Embassy in Athens and aims at supporting the establishment of collaborations between UK and Greek universities. The International Education Directorate of the UK  Department for Education, Universities UK International,  The Hellenic Universities Rectors’ Synod and Study in Greece support the programme, as members of its Advisory Board.

Through this programme, the Greek Ministry of Education and Religious Affairs and the British Council will support universities from both countries to identify and facilitate collaborations with their counterparts. These might include supporting them in developing joint and dual degrees, distance learning, summer programmes, academic and student exchanges, or other learning opportunities.
