Student Admission Requirements
Students shall be granted admission based on the average grade of their Secondary-Education-Completion Certificate (apolytirion) granted by a recognised Secondary Education School. The minimum average required for admission to the Department of Law is 16/20. Applicants, who express interest for admission to the Department and whose average grade is less than the average required, are required to go through a personal interview process to show their potential for completing their respective program and that they meet the necessary requirements. A special committee composed ad hoc of members of the Department of Law shall operate for this purpose.
