6. ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
The following documents are required:
1. Identity Card / Passport
Clear photocopy of a valid identification document.
2. Secondary School Leaving Certificate + Apostille
The Apostille certifies a Greek public document for official use abroad. The certificate is submitted to the competent Greek authority for Apostille certification before being used for the university admission procedure.
3. Certificate of Eligibility to Continue to Higher Education + Apostille
Official confirmation that the secondary-school qualification provides access to higher education. This document also requires Apostille.
4. Passport-size photograph
5. Curriculum Vitae in English
6. English Language Certificate – minimum B2 / Lower
Learn IT undertakes the admission procedure
We provide guidance for the documents and Apostille, prepare the academic admission file, coordinate the recognition of the school qualification for admission purposes and manage communication and registration with the University.
7. FEES & PAYMENT
Initial Admission & Academic File: €1,500
This includes:
- Preparation of the academic file
- Document checking and administrative preparation
- Recognition of the Secondary School Leaving Certificate for admission purposes
- Securing a place in the first academic year
- Registration and relevant initial administrative fees included in the procedure
University Tuition
€3,500 per academic year
Paid in two instalments:
1st instalment: approximately mid-September
2nd instalment: approximately early February
Duration: 4 academic years.
The flexible study structure also allows students to avoid the substantial accommodation and living costs associated with permanently relocating abroad.
Application deadline: 25 August
8. DOATAP ACADEMIC RECOGNITION
A major advantage of this study route is its academic recognition in Greece through DOATAP.
Previous graduates following this route have already successfully obtained DOATAP recognition.
Learn IT can undertake the recognition procedure after graduation, including preparation of the recognition file, document checking, administrative coordination and monitoring of the application.
Why is DOATAP important?
DOATAP provides academic recognition, which is different from qualifications relying exclusively on professional-equivalence recognition through ATEEN.
Academic recognition is particularly important for graduates interested in:
- Use of their university qualification in Greece
- Greek public-sector opportunities
- ASEP procedures, according to the requirements of each call
- Master's and doctoral studies
- Further academic development
- Procedures specifically requiring an academically recognised foreign university degree
The student therefore follows a 240-ECTS foreign university Bachelor programme, rather than relying solely on a professional-equivalence route.
