The first cycle of studies involves following the Undergraduate Programme (UP) that culminates in being awarded academic qualifications (a bachelor’s degree). Panteion operates nine (9) academic faculties with the equivalent number of Undergraduate Programmes. All the programmes of study at Panteion are organised on the basis of the European system of transference and accumulation of credit units – ECTS (European Credit Transfer System), so that each of the learning activities of which they are composed (lectures, seminars, tutorials, workshops, essays, practical training, a research dissertation etc.) may be described by rendering these into an ECTS number. One credit unit is the equivalent of 25-30 hours of work by the student. In every Undergraduate Programme 30 ECTS are attributed to each semester, whereas the total of ECTS for receiving the degree are a minimum of 240 over the duration of eight (8) semesters. Students enrol every semester by registering electronically the subjects they choose, within the dates provided in the Academic Calendar. Each year, the Course Guide of each Department is compiled for the next academic year, in the Greek and English language, which is uploaded on the Department’s site. The Course Guide consists of the titles of courses, the full name and specialisation of each instructor, credit unites, a description of the course and an analysis of the course objectives.

The second cycle of studies consists of the Postgraduate Programme (PP) that culminates in being awarded the Master’s Diploma. The Postgraduate Programmes are part of the Institution’s strategic planning, they aim at promoting knowledge, the development of research and of satisfying the educational, research and developmental needs of the country, they are underpinned by scientific cohesion, their scientific fields relate to specialisms in the undergraduate programme and meet the requirements for assurance of a high level of studies. Panteion operates 15 Postgraduate Programmes, which are organised by the Institution’s Departments. It also runs an interdepartmental Postgraduate Programme under the title “Gender, Society, Politics” for which the Departments of Public Administration, International, European and Area Studies, Communication, Media and Culture, Sociology, Social Anthropology, and Social Policy collaborate. All the Postgraduate Programmes of Panteion are offered free of charge.
