Greece: A European Country Offering High Visa Ratio for Pakistani Students

Many students dream of studying in Europe following their successful completion of intermediate studies.

Those who cannot do so immediately, and instead undertake undergraduate studies at some local university, would like to complete their postgraduate studies in Europe somewhere.

These students often ask what may be available to them in the Schengen zone, and oftentimes we tell them there is quite a lot; however, it depends on their academic profile what options we may be able to offer them.

One of the best options available to us recently is that of Greece, where students with a minimum grade of sixty percent following class 12 can qualify to undertake undergraduate studies at Greece’s very own campus of the University of York, an acclaimed British institution of high repute.

Not only this, but they can do so without the need for the typical IELTS, PTE, or Duolingo English language/test requirement.

A simple MoI (Medium of Instruction) letter/certificate from a recognised degree-issuing institution will do. Tuition fees are less than €8,000 per year; there is a one-off, non-refundable registration fee, a swift and easy payment plan, and, in the event of a visa refusal, students receive a full tuition refund.

Similar programs are on offer—on the same terms—for students planning on doing postgraduate studies.

Popular programs for undergraduate studies currently available include: Business Studies, Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence & Data Science, Psychology, Law, and Digital Media & Communication.

For those seeking postgraduate options, there are Business Analytics, Finance & Risk Management, Digital Marketing, Marketing, Advertising & PR, Neuromarketing, Artificial Intelligence & Data Science, Web & Mobile Development, Clinical Neuropsychology, Counseling & Psychotherapy, and a variety of LLM Programs.

All study visa applications for this country—including biometrics—are processed at the Embassy of Greece in Islamabad, so there is no need to travel out of the country to fulfil this key requirement.

As things stand, the visa ratio for Pakistani study visa applicants is high, the process is straightforward, and an offer letter can be received—upon submission of all the correct documents—within five business days.
