Study in Greece: Tuition Fees & Scholarships

One of the top reasons to study abroad in Greece is that tuition fees in Greece are quite low. Students from the EU, the EEA and Switzerland don’t pay any tuition fees for bachelor’s studies in Greek public universities, and many master's programs are cost-free to this group as well.

All non-European international students are expected to pay fees of around €1500 per year for undergraduate studies, which includes the cost of course books. For master’s studies in public universities, the fees are around €1500-€2000 per academic year/semester. Private schools in Greece are a slightly different story.

For both European and non-Europeans, the cost of studying in private institutions or colleges is higher and can reach up to €10,000 or more annually. Have a look at the websites of the schools you're interested in to find out more.

You can find tuition fees for specific programs in Greek universities in the Study in Greece program catalog.
