Explore Boundless Opportunities: Study in Greece

Study in Greece

Greece, the birthplace of democracy and Western philosophy, offers international students the chance to study where many of the world's great ideas began. Its universities combine centuries of academic tradition with modern, research-led teaching, and a growing number of programs are now taught entirely in English. As a member of the European Union, Greece awards degrees that are recognized across Europe and beyond, while tuition fees and living costs remain among the most affordable in Western Europe. Students enjoy a warm Mediterranean climate, a relaxed and welcoming culture, and easy travel across the Schengen Area. From the historic streets of Athens and the lively student city of Thessaloniki to the islands of the Aegean, studying in Greece combines a quality education with an unforgettable lifestyle.

  • Recognized European Degrees

    As an EU member state, Greece follows the Bologna Process and the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS), so your qualification is recognized throughout Europe and around the world.

  • Affordable Education

    Tuition fees in Greece are modest compared with most Western European countries, and everyday living costs are noticeably lower than in cities such as London, Paris or Amsterdam.

  • English-Taught Programs

    Greek universities and colleges offer a growing range of bachelor's and master's programs taught fully in English, in fields such as business, computer science, engineering, shipping, tourism and hospitality.

  • Rich History and Culture

    Study surrounded by ancient landmarks, world-class museums and a lively modern culture, with islands, mountains and archaeological sites within easy reach.

  • Gateway to Europe

    A Greek student residence permit allows you to travel within the Schengen Area, making it easy to explore the rest of Europe during your studies.

Tuition fees depend on the institution, the program and the level of study. Here's an overview of the approximate costs for international (non-EU) students:

  • English-Taught Bachelor's Programs€1,500 – €12,000 per yearApproximately
  • Master's Programs€2,000 – €12,000 for the full programApproximately
