How admission works

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.

Tuition fees in Greece

At public universities an EU student typically pays no tuition fee, and a student from outside the EU €7,000 a year on a programme taught in English (most other programmes are free for them too). All amounts are per year in euros; fees charged per credit or per semester are converted to a full year (60 ECTS credits or two semesters).

Where the fee depends on family income, the typical figure is the full fee and the range starts at the lowest one.

Good to know about fees

• Ελλάδα: Undergraduate study in Greek at public universities is free of tuition in 2026/27: the Ministry of Education's Study in Greece portal and programme finder list every Greek-taught bachelor's programme as free, with no distinction by nationality, and this is shown for EU and non-EU students alike. A 2024 law (Law 5094/2024) also lets each university admit non-EU students to Greek-taught programmes outside the normal admission routes for a fee equal to the cost of studies, but we found no university that has published such fees. English-taught undergraduate programmes, such as medicine in English, charge fees set by each university (€4,500–17,000 a year here), the same for EU and non-EU students. Private colleges and branches of foreign universities are not included.
