Letters of reference	15%

The above percentage criteria do not apply to domestic or foreign students studying on a scholarship from the ΙΚΥ (State Scholarship Foundation). Applications from these students will be examined individually and the final decision will depend chiefly on the terms of their scholarship.

In order to be accepted, candidates for a doctorate must have similar research interests to those of one of the members of the Teaching and Research Staff in the relevant section of the Department of Philology at the University of Patras.

Selection of candidates from abroad

In addition to the documentation specified above, foreign students will be required to submit a language certificate to verify their knowledge of Greek. This also applies to foreign students studying on a scholarship.
