Hello my name is Alexander 19 years of age ( in less than 2 months 20 ) and i want to move over to the uk , made this decision few months ago to go there work save up some money and go to UWE , now after trying to make sure i had every single paper in my possession i came across the uk visa which was completly new ( in the university application forum 2 months ago there was no visa option yet now there is one ) , so i was wondering if i actually need a visa to enter and work in the uk as a greek citizen

The answer to your question depends on when you are planning to come, to which part of the UK, and for how long.

The likeliest answer, as the state of things now, is that no, you don't need a visa, because even in the event of no deal, and even if you come after the transition period, the government has stated that any EU citizen will be entitled to come to the UK and stay for up to three years. That is usually enough to complete a UK degree (except in Scotland, where it takes 4 years, hence the question of where do you want to go).

An entirely different question is if you would like to stay in the UK after you complete your studies, and in that case, the answer is much more complex and requires more insight into what the government and Brexi direction will be after the parliamentary sessions next week, and the weeks after that.

go to UWE
The OP plans to go to the University of the West of England (UWE), so presumably Bristol, England.
