Abstract: Over the last couple of decades, Universal Access and Universal Design have started to become an inseparable aspect in every design and construction project. Unfortunately, this still is not reality if a glance at education of relevant future professionals is taken. In order to reveal the existing situation in planning schools, a survey was carried out in Greece in autumn 2008 in order to interrogate the level of knowledge and understanding of students of design and construction professions as regards matters of accessibility. This paper presents this survey's results and discusses its outcome. In the end some conclusions are drawn and future perspectives are portrayed.
