About the country
Greece combines a long academic tradition, a mild climate and a broad network of public universities. Major student centres include Athens, Thessaloniki, Patras, Heraklion and several regional cities.
Higher education system
Higher education is provided mainly by public universities. Bachelor’s programmes usually last four years, engineering and some professional degrees five years, and medicine six years. Greek is the main language of undergraduate study, although the number of international English-taught programmes is increasing. Greek-taught public programmes are generally tuition-free, while English-taught programme fees vary by university and subject.
Why study here
Greece suits students looking for public universities, a European academic environment, a mild climate and a choice between large cities and quieter regional centres.
Opportunities after graduation
Graduates may continue their studies, seek employment in Greece or use their qualification for further academic and professional opportunities in Europe.
