D. Additional requirements

1. Aristotle University of Thessaloniki:

Courses at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki are normally taught in Greek. However, there are courses in other languages too, especially at the Foreign Language Faculties, Faculty of Law (courses in English, French and German language), School of Journalism & Mass Communications, School of Economics and School of Political Sciences. In all other cases, there are special arrangements for Erasmus+ students, such as assignment of essays in English with the use of English bibliography in small groups of students.

Information concerning courses and other academic matters can be obtained at the website of the University: http://www.auth.gr/en/faculties

Greek Language courses for Erasmus+ students

There are regular and online Greek language courses, which start at the beginning of each semester. These courses are organized specifically for Erasmus+ students with the support of the EU and are offered free of charge under certain conditions in regard to absences. You can find more information at the School of Modern Greek Language of AUTH: http://smg.web.auth.gr/wordpress/?lang=en


Students with disabilities

Social and Health Policy Committee of AUTH was established in 1997 with the aim to facilitate students with disabilities. Services have been developed and updated according to European and International standards. There are several fields that Social and Health Policy Committee is getting involved, always aiming to make student life easier so that all students can focus on their academic demands.

Services available

Students with visual impairment

- Converting books or notes in any file the student is using to study (text to speech, print them in Braille etc)

Students with hearing disabilities

- Interpretation in Greek Sign language everywhere in the campus of our University during working hours.

- Co-operation with Hellenic Federation of the Deaf in order to provide sign language interpreters for all lessons of deaf students.

- Unfortunately we do not provide interpretations in other foreign sign languages.

Students with mobility disabilities

- We provide transportation to students with mobility disabilities from their residences to the campus and vice versa in an everyday basis.

Services to all students

- blood donation days

- connect students with other institutions so that they will be given the professional care they need depending on their issue.

Social and Health Policy Committee is always personalizing its services adjusting them to the needs and wills of every single student.

2. Università degli Studi di Roma 'La Sapienza'

Exchange students will normally be allowed to enter courses at I ROMA01 unless these courses are subject
to restricted enrolments.

I ROMA01 requires students to have an intermediate knowledge of Italian language (i.e. Threshold level
B1 or Higher of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages).
Please, note that:
- we do not necessarily need an official certificate, but you can also send us an alternative
qualification (i.e. certificate issued by the Home University, language centres/schools, online
courses, etc.) or the results of the online assessment test offered by the Online Linguistic Support
(OLS) to demonstrate the level;
- the deadline for submitting the certificate is generally just before the beginning of the courses (by
the end of August for students coming in the 1st semester and by the end of January for students
coming in the 2nd semester) and not during the application process;
- in some specific cases (see below), we accept an intermediate level of English instead of Italian
proficiency;
- we organize free intensive courses at the beginning of each semester to support students in the
learning process to reach B1 level.

An intermediate level of English is accepted instead of Italian proficiency in the following cases:
- students who wish to attend classes from degree programmes fully or partially taught in English
(http://en.uniroma1.it/study-us/graduate/english-taught-courses)
- students coming for their final thesis project or for training work, whose tutor accepts English as
working language.
