Study in Greece
Greece's Greek-taught public degrees are free even for non-EU students, but need Greek B2. For Bangladeshi applicants who want to study in English without that, the realistic route is a small number of English-taught private colleges and a short list of public bachelor's programmes - fewer choices than the UK or Canada, but genuine Schengen access and a lower cost of living.
How to study in Greece from Bangladesh
Reviewed October 2026Bangladeshi students secure a university offer, then apply for the National D Visa (Student). Biometrics and documents are submitted at GVCW Dhaka, on behalf of the Greek Embassy (New Delhi) - mandatory consular interview and biometrics. Processing typically takes a few weeks once your file is complete (no published Dhaka-specific timeline - confirmed with GVCW per file). The main intakes from Bangladesh are October primary intake; some colleges also open a February intake. After graduating you can stay on the EU/Schengen residence while studying; post-study work routes vary by field - we check the current rules for your course before you apply.
