GreeceThessaloniki runs two separate application cycles in the same admissions year, closing 31 January and 31 May 2026, so a missed winter deadline is not a missed year. It also publishes an eligibility rule that rules people out: the English program is for foreign citizens who completed their final two years of high school outside Greece.
The first cycle opened 3 November 2025 and closed 31 January 2026. The second opened 23 March 2026 and closes 31 May 2026. Online admissions tests and interviews are arranged within each cycle.
Two intakes in one admissions year is uncommon here — Šafárik in Slovakia runs two dentistry exam rounds, and little else on this site offers a genuine second attempt without waiting twelve months. The practical read is the same as it is there: the later cycle competes for whatever places remain, so the January date is the better one rather than merely the earlier one.
It also makes Thessaloniki a real fallback. Its 31 May close sits after Split's May deadline and around the same time as Slovakia's, which means an applicant working through Central Europe can still add it late.
The published requirement is explicit: eligible applicants are foreign citizens who completed the final two years of high school outside Greece. That is a rule about who may apply at all, not a preference, and it is the kind of condition that quietly disqualifies exactly the applicants who assume it does not apply to them — a student with Greek citizenship, or one who finished school in Greece, is outside the English program's intake regardless of grades.
Beyond eligibility the requirements are a high-school diploma or IB equivalent, English at B2 or higher with published examples of IELTS 6.0 overall or TOEFL iBT 79, a personal statement, an interview, and an online 60-question assessment covering biology, chemistry and general topics.
A 60-question online assessment plus an interview plus a personal statement is a three-part filter, and the assessment's general-topics component means it is not purely a science test.
€12,000 per academic year, confirmed for the 2026-2027 cycle, paid as two instalments of €6,000. Twenty-six of the 118 medicine programs on this site with a confirmed fee cost less, against a European median of €17,863.
Greece prices its English medicine unusually consistently. Thessaloniki, Patras and Thessaly all sit at €12,000; the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens is the outlier at €17,000. So within Greece the fee narrows the decision very little, and the two-cycle calendar and the eligibility rule end up doing more work than the price does.
Greek is normally required for patient contact. The degree runs six years to an integrated medical qualification.
Foreign-citizen applicants who finished their last two years of school outside Greece, who want a second cycle to fall back on inside the same year, and who can handle an interview and a mixed science-and-general online assessment rather than a pure science exam.
