University Higher Tertiary education is provided by Universities and Polytechnics, Technological Educational Institutes (T.E.I., 1983 ~ present) and Academies which provide mainly the military and the clerical education.

University Undergraduate studies typically last 4 years (5 in polytechnics and some technical/art schools and 6 in medical schools), postgraduate studies (Master level) lasting from 1 to 2 years and doctorates (PhD level) lasting from 3 to 6 years. All education levels are under the authority of the Ministry of Education and Religious Affairs. Private schools are also included.

There is also a number of private tutors (Greek: φροντιστήριο) providing foreign language tuition, supplementary lessons for weak students or even exam preparation courses for the high-leveled Panhellenic national exams. There are also private schools, colleges and universities.

The existing situation leads to the fact that Greek students do not have enough spare time as they spend a lot of time into either schools or private courses and studying at home. At least, they improve their knowledge in maths, physics, languages and other subjects.
