While business studies and law are at the top of preferences of college students in the EU, the two disciplines fall to second place in Greece, with engineering, and especially civil engineering and construction, coming in first.
Results of a recent study by the Hellenic Authority for Higher Education, for 2021, shows a specific preference for the latter by 21.27 percent of Greek respondents.
One reason by the result is the recent upgrading of tertiary institutes (TEI) in Greece to full four-year university level, adding numerous technological education schools.
Business-related studies follow, along with health and social welfare degree courses (13.6 percent), the arts and humanities (11.5 percent); sociology and media studies (9.5 percent); education (7.6 percent); natural sciences (6.8 percent) and IT and communication systems (4.9 percent).
