Graduates of Departments of the Schools of Natural Sciences, Environmental Sciences, Engineering, Agricultural–Forestry, and Military Schools of Universities and Technological Educational Institutes in Greece, as well as from equivalent recognized institutions abroad, are eligible for admission to the MSc Program. Graduates of other Departments may also be admitted following a decision of the Program’s Steering Committee.
The selection of postgraduate students is carried out following a call for applications published on the website of the Department of Physics and that of the MSc Program. Candidates are required to submit the supporting documents specified in the call and to participate in examinations, which include a written examination in Physics, a written examination in the English language focusing on terminology relevant to the subject of the MSc Program, and an oral interview before the members of the Program’s Steering Committee.
After the examinations, candidates are ranked on the basis of an admission score, which takes into account: the grade obtained in the Physics examination (40%), the undergraduate degree grade (25%), the number of courses relevant to the MSc Program attended by the candidates during their undergraduate studies (20%), and the oral interview (15%).
Graduates in Physics with an excellent undergraduate degree performance (as defined in the call for applications), as well as holders of a Master’s degree (MSc) in Physics or in a related field, may, following a decision of the MSc Program’s Steering Committee, be admitted with priority and without taking the Physics examination, provided that they successfully pass the English language examination and attend the oral interview.
The ranking list is forwarded to the General Assembly of the Department, which makes the final decision on the admission of the students.
