Citizens of Turkmenistan can now begin preparing their documents to apply to public universities in Greece for the 2027–2028 academic year. According to information provided by the legal company VASH CENTER, applicants may apply for admission without taking university entrance examinations.

Free Education for International Students

The company states that international students can pursue higher education free of charge at public universities in Greece. Textbooks and other study materials are also provided free of charge.

Applicants can choose from fields such as medicine, humanities, technical sciences, economics, and computer science.

Opportunities for Students

According to the company, students at Greek public universities have access to several opportunities. These include free tuition, accommodation in student dormitories, meals at university cafeterias, and the opportunity to obtain a European diploma upon graduation.

Students may also participate in the Erasmus+ international exchange programme and apply for a residence permit in Greece in accordance with the applicable regulations. The company also states that there is no age limit for admission.

The First Year Is Dedicated to Learning Greek

Courses at Greek universities are taught in Greek. Therefore, international applicants first attend a preparatory language course. Prior knowledge of Greek is not required to take part in this stage.

Application Deadlines

Preparations for applications for the 2027–2028 academic year have already begun. Applicants can currently seek advice and start preparing and legalizing their documents.

According to the company, the official submission of applications in Greece will take place from July 1 to 10, 2027. Applicants are therefore advised to prepare the required documents in advance.

Required Documents

The main documents required for admission include:

  • Secondary education certificate — a document confirming completion of 10th, 11th, or 12th grade and granting the holder the right to apply to a higher education institution in the country where it was issued;

  • Birth certificate;

  • Certificate issued by the school.

Applicants who have completed the 9th grade may, in certain cases, also be required to provide a diploma from a lyceum, technical school, or college. Acceptance of such documents depends on the level of education, recognition of the qualification, and the relevant requirements in Greece.

Applicants can contact VASH CENTER to check in advance whether their documents meet the applicable requirements.
