Greek students are in the final countdown to submit their university application forms, known as Mihanografiko, with the deadline set for Thursday, July 16, 2026. The online platform is open for submissions for both general higher education and parallel applications for vocational schools (SAEK).
This year, a total of 89,032 candidates are vying for one of the 68,788 available places in higher education institutions for the upcoming 2026-27 academic year. Following the submission period, the Ministry of Education will announce the admission cut-off scores, ending the anticipation for the hopeful students.
Based on current data, significant shifts in admission scores are not widely expected. However, slight downward trends are predicted for the Humanities and Economics/Information Technology fields (1st and 4th scientific fields). Conversely, the Natural Sciences and Health Sciences fields (2nd and 3rd scientific fields) are anticipated to see upward movements in their cut-off scores.
The process requires candidates to log in using their personal security codes. They can fill out and modify their applications as many times as they wish until the final submission deadline. Those who have not yet obtained their security codes can contact their high school, while those who have forgotten their passwords can reset them online if they had previously provided a personal email address. The deadline is strict, and no changes or submissions will be accepted after midnight on July 16.
