Accessing Higher Education in Greece research
A new project brings together almost 30 researchers from two universities in Greece, in collaboration with other European Universities, to study access to higher education within the Hellenic Republic.
The project is entitled: Access to Higher Education - A study of the social, educational and institutional dimensions of demand for and supply of higher education in Greece. Problems and policies in comparative-historical and empirical perspective .
Southampton Education School's Dr Michael Tomlinson is one of the partner researchers, with an award from the Greek Education Ministry/European Social Fund to support this work.
They aim to investigate in-depth issues in relation to the social, cultural and economic demands for higher education in Greece and other European countries, including access to particular disciplines; mobility between universities and home residences; the costs of access to public and private higher education; socio-economic factors impacting entrance examinations, drop-out rates and the phenomenon of students stagnating in the higher education system.
The project is due to complete in November 2013.
