  1. and is it allowed to apply students who want to continue their second year in this university? or is it only for first-year students? and is the scolarship for some particular faculty (like economy,architecture) or it refers to all the faculties of this university? thanks

    1. Dear franz,

      I am afraid that the scholarship does not cover travel fees. It is stated in the official call as follows: "Students will be responsible for their own accomodation and living & travel expenses."

  3. Excuse me, but I want to study in Aristotle university of Thessaloniki with a scholarship.Is the ministry granting any scholarships to Lebanese students ? What number can I contact in order to know further more about this subject ? thank you

    1. Hi, Fouad barakat,

      please, try to stay on-topic – this is a post for Scholarships in Turkey.
      You could have posted your comment for example here: http://www.mladiinfo.com/2011/02/03/greek-governm…

      There, you see that Lebanon is one of the eligible countries for obtaining a government scholarship, but the deadline is over.

      You may find the contacts for the Ministry of Education here: http://www.ypepth.gr/en_ec_page1980.htm

  4. Hi!
    I was writing the application form and there was asked:'GRADING SYSTEM'and I am not sure what should I write in there…Can you please help me?(I'd really appreciate it..:)
    I'm from Albania by the way)

    1. Helo Anxhela,

      so my guess is that they want to know what evaluation system there is in different countries, in your case Albania. Say, grades in Albania are on scale from 1 to 5, or 1 to 10 where 10 is the highest score and 1 the lowest.

      So, I would write that.

      Regards,

  5. hello 🙂
    I'm from Macedonia and I would like to know which subjects(from the State Maturity Examination) are required for the given undergraduate programs on the official website. I just can't find it on the website 🙂
    thank you!

    1. Hey,

      A common sense would tell me this: For example, when you want to study physics, you need min. 50 points in Physics, for Medicine you need Biology and Chemistry 100%. For economics and related sciences is Maths 100%, for Arts it could be History, and so on.

      So generally, for technical studies – Maths, Physics and for Arts – Humanities such as History, Philosophy etc.

      Best,

    1. Dear Olam,

      75 percent means 75 percent off the tuition fee.
      Unfortunately, Mladiinfo can't tell you if your results are ok as we are not the University – it is the university which judges the results and compares them with the others.

    1. Dear Olga,

      Mladiinfo is not a University and we do not offer scholarships. We are just a website that informs about the different possibilities that exist out there.
      As for your question, the call for scholarships for the academic year 2012-2013 has not been released yet. You can expect the call somewhere around spring time.
      If you want you can contact the University directly and maybe they will be able to give you the information about next years scholarships.

      Kind regards

    1. Dear nana poku,

      The admissions for the academic year 2012-13 have not been released yet. You can probably expect them to come out around spring time.
      As for whether or not Ghana will make the list of countries available for scholarships, I would advise you to contact the University directly and ask them that, because we cannot provide you with that information.

      Kind regards
