Overview

Explore Greece through the national study portal, then contact the department responsible for your chosen degree. Check the teaching language and application route early. Greek-taught and international programmes may have different entry processes; funding and residence need their own checks.

How the system works

Study in Greece introduces Greek universities and provides routes to programme search and student support. Use the programme listing as a starting point and verify the awarding institution and course directly. Study in Greece: national study portal

Study levels

The portal covers bachelor’s, master’s and PhD routes. Doctoral applicants should ask the department about supervision, proposal requirements and whether any funding accompanies the place. Study in Greece: national study portal

Tuition and living costs

Get the exact programme fee and any semester, laboratory or application charges. Do not assume an English-taught course has the same fee arrangements as a Greek-taught course. Request deposit/refund terms and a realistic accommodation estimate.

Scholarships and funding

The national portal links to a scholarship finder. Follow each award to its provider and check citizenship, subject, study level and closing date. A directory entry does not establish an open competition or Belarusian eligibility. Study in Greece: national study portal

Admissions

For postgraduate study, contact the programme secretariat for requirements and deadlines. The portal’s application service covers participating offerings; do not treat it as a compulsory application system for every Greek university programme. Study in Greece: national study portal

Application periods

Ask for the next intake’s published call and document deadline. If a language-preparation period is needed, establish how it fits the academic calendar before accepting a place.

Language requirements

Confirm whether teaching, examinations and any clinical or professional placement require Greek, English or both. Ask for the accepted certificate, minimum score and possible exemption based on prior study.

Recognition of Belarusian qualifications

Ask the university which assessment of your foreign award is required for the specific admission route, and whether a separate recognition decision is necessary. For interrupted study, request an individual credit-transfer assessment with transcripts and course descriptions.

Residence and work

The EU immigration portal describes a study visa following acceptance and a residence-permit process, with financial evidence. It also notes part-time work. Confirm the current rules with the competent Greek consulate and migration authority, including the route from your present country of residence. Study in Greece also provides a visa guide.
