6. ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
1. Identity Card / Passport
Clear photocopy of a valid identification document.
2. Secondary School Leaving Certificate + Apostille
The Apostille certifies the authenticity of a Greek public document so that it can be officially used abroad.
Learn IT provides complete guidance regarding the competent authority and procedure.
3. Certificate of Eligibility to Continue to Higher Education + Apostille
Official confirmation that the applicant's Secondary School Leaving Certificate provides access to higher education.
This document must also receive Apostille certification.
4. Passport-size Photograph
5. Curriculum Vitae in English
6. English Language Certificate
Minimum requirement: B2 / Lower or equivalent
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
- Preparation of the academic admission file
- Document checking and administrative preparation
- Recognition of the Secondary School Leaving Certificate for admission purposes

The flexible study structure also allows students to avoid the significant accommodation and living costs normally 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
- Checking of supporting documents
- Administrative coordination
- Submission support
- Monitoring of the procedure
Why is DOATAP important?
DOATAP provides academic recognition, which is different from study routes relying exclusively on professional-equivalence recognition through ATEEN.
Academic recognition is particularly valuable for graduates interested in:
- Recognised academic use of their degree in Greece
- Greek public-sector opportunities
- ASEP procedures, according to each call
- Master's studies
- Doctoral studies
- Further academic development
- Procedures requiring an academically recognised foreign university qualification
The student therefore completes a full 240-ECTS foreign university Bachelor degree, rather than relying only on professional equivalence.
