Furthermore, it is certified that the study programme meets minimum quality criteria, as laid down in European Higher Education Area.

Abstract
This study presents an aspect of stereotyping and discrimination in participation in policy-making processes based on gender, which contributes to the reproduction of gender inequalities in higher education in Greece. In the process of accreditation of undergraduate programmes, there are great differences in the participation of male and female evaluators. This fact reproduces existing stereotypes and prejudices in participation in political decision-making and casts a bad light on the debate on gender issues, which is necessary to overcome the gender inequalities that characterise higher education in Greece.
