Is the degree awarded identical to that given in the UK?
Yes, both the course and the degree, which is awarded are identical to that offered in the UK (as a matter of fact the degree offered upon successful completion does not mention Athens at all). The University is responsible for assessment and admission to ensure that the same high academic standards apply in Greece as in the UK.
