Abstract

The ongoing financial crisis in Greece has significant negative impact on almost all aspects of socio-economic life. The paper aims at investigating the impact of the financial crisis on students studying at the Technological Educational Institute of Central Macedonia **(TEICM), Greece. A research study was conducted and the results revealed the following: on the one hand, increased effect of the financial crisis on a) students' life, in general, and b) students' decision to acquire higher qualifications than the Bachelor's degree from TEICM, and, on the other hand, moderate effect of the financial crisis on issues regarding i) university studies, and ii) students' career prospects.
