An extension of the application deadline for participation in the Certificate of Attainment in Greek examinations has been announced, with the new deadline set for March 29, 2026.

The University of Crete serves as a certified Examination Center for the Certificate of Attainment in Greek (Center ID: 30026), following official approval by the Centre for the Greek Language, the national authority responsible for the certification of Greek language proficiency. This approval constitutes an important institutional recognition and is renewed on an annual basis.

The May 2026 examination session will take place in Rethymno, hosted by the Language Acquisition and Processing Laboratory (LAP-Lab at UoC) of the Department of Philology, and will include both written and oral components.

The operation of an Examination Center for the certification of Greek language proficiency significantly enhances international outreach, offering international students, researchers, and other interested individuals the opportunity to obtain an official certification of Greek language competence in accordance with internationally recognized standards.

This development is in line with the broader mission of the University of Crete to promote the dissemination of the Greek language and culture, while further strengthening the local international community.
