These academies fall under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of National Defence and are equivalent to the other Greek
institutions of university-level higher education according to the provisions of L. 1351/1983. For this reason, the same rules
are applied for student entry except that they must have Greek nationality. A brief description of each of the military
academies is the following.
