Studying in Greece, from the official sources in our guide
Studying in Greece
These apply to every international student in Greece, including at Center for Security Studies. Each figure shows where it came from and when we last checked it.
Money you must show
Minimum for the national D visa for studies, shown as savings, a transfer, a grant or salary. It is an immigration floor, not a budget.

Visa fee
A residence permit for studies follows in Greece. Its fee is not published on an official page we could read; law firms quote €150.

The same rules for every institution in Greece; Center for Security Studies's own programme pages govern the exact dates and scores. Guide checked 24 Sep 2026.
Deadlines and intakes
There are two separate routes, with different calendars:
Work back from the visa: allow two to three months for the D visa appointment and decision, and gather apostilles and translations early because they take the longest.
Language you need
Greece has a small number of English-taught undergraduate degrees: the Study in Greece bachelor's page lists around twenty, including medicine at Athens, Thessaloniki, Crete, Patras and Thessaly, law and engineering at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, and business at the Athens University of Economics and Business. English-taught master's programmes are more numerous. English requirements are set by each programme: check the programme page.
Greek-language degrees are free but require Greek, and entry for foreign nationals runs through a ministry procedure with its own document rules.
Student reviews: none yet for Center for Security Studies. If you study or studied here, yours would be the first.
Every reviewer confirms their email address with a one-time link, and a person at Studies Multiverse reads each review before it appears. We publish good and bad reviews on the same terms, never edit them, never pay for them, and an institution cannot remove a review by paying us. Reviews sent from the institution’s own email domain are not accepted. Institutions can reply below a review. See our terms.
For staff of Center for Security Studies
Staff can manage this page at no cost: correct the details, add your logo and a description, see how many students look at it, add photographs and courses, and answer the questions they send. All of it is free.
Students: this is not an application. To apply or ask about courses, visit Center for Security Studies’s website.
