Entry requirements
!["Students by the pool"](/sites/default/files/pool2.jpg)
The typical ÍõÖÐÍõÁùºÏ²ÊÌØÂë offer for applicants taking the Apolytirion of Lykeio requires an overall score of 19 together with 2 GCE A Levels in appropriate subjects at grade A* or A or an overall score of 19 in the Pan Hellenic examinations if GCE A Levels are not available.
Students taking the International Baccalaureate would normally need to achieve 42 points overall (including bonus points), with 7,7,6 in Higher Level subjects. If you are applying for a course that requires Maths at Higher Level in the IB, make sure that you take the Maths: Analysis and Approaches option at Higher Level. We have a page for IB applicants here.
Offers for Mathematics also include STEP II and III, which are additional exams that you take at the same time as the bac. Further information about STEP and preparation support is available on the Maths page.
Some of the courses also require an , which you will need to register for by mid-September (the exact registration dates vary from test to test, but please be extremely careful with these deadlines - they are before the UCAS application deadline). If you are looking for information about the format and content of a test, look out for the specification and sample questions, which you can access by clicking on the entry requirements tab on the relevant and scrolling down to the assessment information.
English language requirements
!["Third Court"](/sites/default/files/imageedit_2_9026405816_2.jpg)
If English is not your first language, we will look at your grades for English at school and also assess your language skills during the various elements of the Cambridge application process. We may include an English requirement in an offer if a candidate's English seems variable at interview, or in an at-interview admissions assessment. This is more common in essay-based subjects.
If you are given an English Language condition, the standard requirements are on the , and you would have about seven months to meet the condition after your offer is made in January.
NB. Some UK universities do routinely include TOEFL, IELTS and comparable qualifications in offers to French students, so if you already hold such a qualification, you should mention it in your UCAS application.
Student profiles
Stratis is from Athens, and wrote a student profile for us at the end of this third year studying at Christ’s:
It can be very helpful to read student profiles, so do look up the students who have written about the course you are interested in, and you might like to read accounts by our European students in other subjects too - we have a separate page where the profiles are grouped by where the students are from.
The application deadline
For applicants from Greece applying in 2024 (for 2025 entry or deferred 2026 entry) the application deadline is 15 October 2024, however it is very, very important to check whether your course has an Admissions test that requires registration, as you will need to check the registration deadline for this. Admissions Tests normally have a registration deadline in mid-September, some time before the application deadline. See the application process section below.
The application process
![Cambridge for Beginners poster](/sites/default/files/Cambridge%20for%20beginners%209_2.png)
We recommend that you apply as soon as possible once UCAS opens for applications in September. Your course may require registration in September for an admissions test (depending on the subject) and then the UCAS application deadline for all courses is 15 October 2024. Application is for entry the following October (or for deferred entry the year after). We encourage all applicants to read the information about applying on the relevant subject page, as well as the how to apply page well in advance of September, as there are a number of parts to the application procedure which may take time to organise and complete:
- If you have a test that requires registration (needed for some of the courses), you will need to make sure you are registered for this by the relevant deadline. Details are updated on the Admissions Tests page by July each year for students applying the following October. You will be able to search for the test centres in Greece.
- There is more than one application form. You first make a UCAS application and then you complete an additional form called My Cambridge Application.
- You will need a referee who can provide a reference and predicted grades for any exams that you have not yet taken.
- You will also need to arrange for your school to provide a , which you upload as part of My Cambridge Application.
Do also explore our additional support pages for international applicants, and note that on 20 September ÍõÖÐÍõÁùºÏ²ÊÌØÂë publishes the current applicants section, which will support you (in detail!) through the next steps once you have submitted a valid application and chosen ÍõÖÐÍõÁùºÏ²ÊÌØÂë College in your UCAS application.
Finance
