Greece: University application platform to open late June, changes announced

Greek high school students preparing for university will soon face the crucial step of submitting their applications. The Ministry of Education plans to launch the online platform for these "michanografiko" applications in late June or early July.

The national university entrance exams, known as Panhellenic Exams, are nearing their end. The final core subject exams for General Lyceum students are scheduled for Monday, June 8. Students from Vocational Lyceums (EPAL) will have their exams on June 15, and special subject exams will conclude by June 25.

Once the application platform opens, students must visit michanografiko.it.minedu.gov.gr. Access requires an eight-digit exam code and a personal security password obtained from their school. Applicants can save and modify their choices temporarily while the platform is active, but once finalized, no further changes are permitted.

While there are no new methods for university admission this year, the ministry has introduced changes to the application forms. These include alterations in the ranking and access fields for various university programs within scientific fields. Some students may find new options available, or the access field for certain schools may change. New departments have been added, while others have been renamed or reassigned to different fields. Students are urged to carefully check the official titles of programs they are interested in to ensure accurate and informed applications.
