To obtain the degree (Master’s Degree), a total of 90 ECTS credits are required (the ECTS credits for each course are listed Studies page). Of these, 60 ECTS must be earned from coursework during the first two semesters (with a workload of 30 ECTS per semester), with 40 ECTS coming from core courses and 20 ECTS from elective courses. The remaining 30 ECTS are awarded for the Master’s Thesis, which is completed during the third semester.
The standard duration of studies is three semesters, with a maximum permitted duration of six semesters. Students may be granted a suspension of studies for one or two semesters (consecutive or not), following an application by the student, approval by the MSc Program Steering Committee, and a decision of the Department’s General Assembly.
The final degree grade is calculated using ECTS credits as weighting factors, in accordance with the ECTS labelling system. In addition, the MSc Program and the Department automatically and free of charge issue a Diploma Supplement in both Greek and English to all postgraduate students.
