The above selection criteria do not apply to Greek or foreign I.K.Y. scholarshiip holders, who are individually assessed on the basis of the terms and conditions of their scholarship. The Postgraduate Programme accepts one additional candidate from the National Scholarship Institution (I.K.Y.) who succeeded in the postgraduate competition in a subject area relevant to the Postgraduate Programme and one foreign scholarship owner from IKY. With the decision of GSES the number of the scholarship owner may rise. Foreign SOCRATES/ERASMUS students may occasionally participate in the Programme.
