GREEK LANGUAGE COURSES
Greek Language Courses at the Modern Greek Language Centre of Kapodistrian University of Athens are refunded by Panteion University for incoming Erasmus students. After having successfully attended the courses, students are awarded the Greek language certificate as well as the grades and ECTS obtained. Our language policy is to enable students to integrate into the Greek society and modern mentality as they can be helped to attempt a better communicative level of our civilization, history and mentality.

ACCOMMODATION
Mentoring and support arrangements as well as any kind of administrative procedures concerning the mobility of incoming participants (students, teaching and administrative staff) and outgoing students for study are conducted by the International Relations and European Union Office of our Institution. As far as the outgoing students are concerned, their accommodation is arranged by themselves under the guidance of the International Relations Office as well as the support of ESN (Erasmus Student Network) of Panteion University.
Moreover,  from 2014 onwards, incoming students will make their own arrangements regarding their  accommodation  and  International Relations Office as well as  ESN will assist them  by proposing  accommodation  deals at advantageous prices when available.

Incoming Students are requested when submitting their application to send a copy of their European Health Insurance Card, or in special cases when EHIC is not provided (eg.
