The official language of instruction in the University of Thessaly is Greek. However, in numerous cases Erasmus+ exchange students are facilitated in their academic work by getting bibliography, tutoring, exams, etc. in English. They are given tutoring courses and private study load in English as well as projects and assignments. In some instances, exams may also be given in English. This means that all applicants should be at least B1 level users in both written and spoken English. This requirement does not apply to students who are qualified to carry out their studies in Greek. Students are required to have B1 level knowledge of English. For more information on the accepted certificates, you can visit http://erasmus.uth.gr/en/studies-en/teaching-language.
