The applicant should be 18-30 years old. Those who are over 30 years old but have certain work experience shall be considered as appropriate.
2. Education
Undergraduate or junior college graduates are required to provide graduation certificates, degree certificates and school transcripts.
3. Language
Most courses in public schools are taught in Greek, and the tuition is low, but it is required to master Greek. In order to promote educational exchanges between the two countries, the Greek Ministry of Education has set up many English teaching programs efficiently.
At present, there are more than 1400 graduate programs taught in English, and applicants need to see clearly whether they are taught in Greek or English when applying.
The master's program of general English teaching requires IELTS score of 5 or 5+, and you also need to take the English entrance examination of the school. Only by passing this exam can you take postgraduate courses, otherwise you need to take English preparatory courses.
Step 4 provide funds
The tuition fees for graduate students in Greece are generally between 3,000 and 6,000 euros in public institutions and around12,000 euros in private schools. The cost of attending a public institution for one year is about 14000- 15000 euros, and attending a private institution costs about 20000 euros.
Of course, after going abroad, friends can also choose to work to make up for the expenses. Greece allows international students to work, and the longest continuous holiday does not exceed four months. Basically, they can pay for studying in Greece through scholarships and jobs.

The difference between studying in Greece and other countries lies in academic qualifications.

Because Greece strictly controls the quality of education, the master's program in Greece is the same as that in China. Almost all master's programs have interviews, and some programs also set up written tests to examine the applicant's professional knowledge.

Greek visa rate for studying abroad
What China students are most concerned about is the visa rate for studying in Greece. According to the current situation, as long as you have the basic requirements and can clearly explain your purpose of studying abroad, the visa is basically no problem.
If you study well in Greece and have enough financial ability, you can transfer to a cooperative college in other countries, complete the final credits and get a degree.
Students will also have the opportunity to stay in Greece or EU countries for employment after graduation, that is, they can apply for a white card. If you stay and have a good job, you may get a green card for permanent residence. It is also a good choice for students to go to other countries for further study after obtaining a bachelor's degree.
In addition, if you have a work visa in Greece, you can be naturalized after living for three years, and people with work permits can also apply for the residency of family members in Greece. After naturalization, you can get a Greek passport and become an EU citizen.
