Professional Rights

 

Established Professional Rights of Graduate Diploma Electronic Engineers of HMU

The Department of Electronic Engineering of the Hellenic Mediterranean University is an excellent choice for undergraduate studies in the cutting-edge technologies of electronics, telecommunications, computers, automation and informatics, with a secure future and excellent professional prospects.
Our Department, according to Ministerial Decision 104090/Z1/27-6-2019 (Government Gazette 2657/vol.B/1-7-2019), has 5-year studies (lasting 10 academic semesters), like all Polytechnic Schools.
In accordance with the provisions of article 66 of Law 4610/2019 (Government Gazette 70/vol.A/7-5-2019), all the required procedures were carried out and the correspondence of our diploma with the degrees of the Departments that already hold the professional rights of the Electronic Engineer was completed, as described in Presidential Decree 99/2018 (Government Gazette 187/vol.A/5-11-2018) “Regulation of the engineering profession with the determination of professional rights for each specialty“. The 7-member Committee of article 66 established by the State studied the file of our Department and at its meeting of 05-06-2024 unanimously decided on the full correspondence of the HMU Electronic Engineer diploma with the diplomas of the corresponding Departments of the country’s Polytechnic Schools.
Thus, before the 5-year study program was completed by our first graduates (2019 – 2024), the State completed the required procedures so that our diploma engineers have all the professional rights of the Electronic Engineer, mentioned below.
However, the goal of the Department is to give all our students, who consciously and conscientiously participate in and attend our excellent study program, all the knowledge, skills and qualifications required by the labor market at a European and international level, independent of the narrow definition of professional rights by the Greek State.
