In Greece, in higher education, dance has no part in universities at undergraduate or postgraduate levels. The only genre of dance that a student can study is traditional dance, and these courses are within physical education departments. The only way someone can study contemporary dance is through higher professional private dance schools and through the State School of Dance, both of which are considered further education courses and part of tertiary education. All six professional contemporary oriented dance schools are vocational oriented and the degrees they offer are considered further education degrees (see www.yppo.gr). For that reason, a graduate from a private professional dance school or from the State School of Dance cannot work in the public sector, such as schools (kindergartens, primary and secondary) and universities as they have no degree-equivalent recognised qualification. Despite that, people study dance abroad at an undergraduate and postgraduate level and return with MAs and PhDs that are going through the Diepistimonikos Organismos Anagnorisis Titlon Akadimaikon kai Pliroforisis (DOATAP) procedure in order to get recognition. There are, however, limited job opportunities in the public sector.
