Summary: The evolution and development of political science in Greece emerges quite late in comparison to other European countries. Although the first Society for Social and Political Sciences was founded in 1919, political science remained for a long time a part of legal and historical studies. The political phenomenon was being approached from an interdisciplinary perspective without clear political dimensions. The first attempts for the systematic transformation of political science into discrete social discipline were related to the creation of the project of a Higher School of Political Sciences promoting the study of political phenomena. However, none of the curricula of the existing university departments had incorporated the political science as an autonomous field of study. The formation of the Hellenic Political Science Association (HPSA) in 1955 established the active interest for studying the political phenomenon in the scope of the institutions, of political life and the political parties, of ideas and their inter-relations with policies. The critical turning point in political science is linked to the university reform of 1982 which led to the creation of autonomous political science university departments. It included the modernization of the discipline through an extended syllabus reform and the recruitment of new academic staff. Today in Greece there are six departments of political science related either to the various sub-disciplined areas of political science or with interdisciplinary curricula. The admission of students to the university departments of political science is taking place through national examinations and the minimum duration of study to be eligible for the so-called diploma, is four years. The increasing demand for postgraduate studies led the six departments of political sciences to operate twelve different postgraduate study programmes up to a two-year duration which are linked to a variety of specialization topics. Doctoral studies in the field of political science have developed significantly over the past two decades. About 300 doctoral theses are being prepared in the aforementioned departments contributing positively to the promotion of political science in Greece.
