Studies at the TEI
Studies at the T.E.I. last 8 semesters
including the last semester for the compulsory
professional placement and the completion of a
graduation project (Dissertation). Studies in
all departments result in a degree called
Ptychio T.E.I., which entitles their holders to
exercise their respective professions or to
continue their academic studies either to a
relative University Undergraduate Course or on
post graduate level in the Greek or foreign
University Institutions.
6
Professional Placement
The duration of professional placements is
set at six months for all students and take
place after the last semester of classroom
studies, when the student has successfully
completed the whole curriculum. The appropriate
degree-awarding department provides general
supervision for the professional placement. The
placement is usually arranged within the
territory served by the T.E.I. in question.
Students receive payment during the practical
placement period.

Differences between AEI - TEI
The T.E.I. clearly differ from the A.E.I.
(University institutions of higher education) as
regards both their role and orientation as well
as that of the subjects and the qualifications
they offer. Especially, they aim to provide
sufficient theoretical and practical training to
enable the application of scientific,
technological, artistic and other knowledge and
skills to the professions concerned.

Department of Informatics

• The Informatics Department of T.E.I.A was founded
  and welcomed its students in October 1983. The
  first graduates of the department acquired their
  degree at the end of 1987.
• The graduates and Degree holders of the
  Department acquire both specialist scientific
  and technical knowledge of this part of the
  Informatics science that concerns system
  software application. The studies last for seven
  semesters and are completed with an extra six
  month period of practical exercise in state or
  private business companies.

11
Department of Informatics
The main purpose of the Informatics Department
is to provide its students with a high standard
education, that aims to the efficient application
of Informatics in every and any professional
environment. The main specialization of the
graduates was until now software and system
analysis, programming and implementation. From
this academic year a second specialization that
of communications and computation systems is
offered as a perspective to them.
12
Department of Informatics
Apart from its educational activities, the
Informatics Department participates in Applied
Research programs financed by the Greek
Government, European Third Degree Institution
programs (ERASMUS, TEMPUS), programs that aim to

The Future
The future is promising. The students admitted to
the Informatics Department of the Athens
Technological Educational Institution collect
respectively high grade results (the 2nd higher
results between all departments of all TEIs),
which shows the great interest that the students
