Early Childhood Education entry scores in Greece (2026): cut-off marks by university

We have official entry scores for 12 programmes (scale from 0 to 24000, higher is better). In the latest lists the score of the last admitted student ranged from 9850 to 14800. The most selective programme was at National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (Athina), the most accessible at University of the Aegean (Rodos).

Always check current information on the official website of the university before you apply.

The score is the result of the last admitted student, so it changes every year.

How admission works in Greece

Places in Greek-taught programmes at public universities are filled through the national Panhellenic exams (Πανελλαδικές Εξετάσεις) run by the Ministry of Education: Greek lyceum candidates submit an application in November–December (for 2026 entry: 28 November–22 December 2025), sit the exams in May–June and then list their chosen departments; places go by points (up to 20,000 from four exam subjects, up to 24,000 where special subjects such as a foreign language or drawing also count) and a minimum entry threshold applies. The score shown is that of the last candidate admitted in the general 90% quota of day general lyceums (ΓΕΛ). Graduates of foreign schools who are not of Greek origin, from non-EU lyceums or from EU schools, apply in a separate ministry category without exams, ranked by their school-leaving grade (in 2026 the online application was open 2–9 July), and need a Greek language certificate to enrol; the ministry announces the dates for the autumn 2027 intake. English-taught programmes take applications directly at each university.
