Program structure & Mode of delivery

The structure applies to Single Honours full-time students. A full-time program of study shall normally comprise 5 modules (30 ECTS) in a semester and 10 modules totaling 60 ECTS in an academic year. In the final year, the course committee assigns a Research/Project Coordinator. This person is responsible for checking for the suitability of the subjects chosen and assigning a project supervisor to each student, according to the area of research proposed, and the faculty’s expertise. The supervisor’s responsibility is to monitor the student’s progress throughout the development, writing, and completion of his/her dissertation. The dissertation project is very demanding, equivalent to four modules, and counts for 24 ECTS. The student has to demonstrate strong evidence of independent work, allowing them to draw upon, apply, and extend work done elsewhere in their degree program.

According to the recently passed legislative framework, the international programs can only enroll non-Greek citizens. English is the typical language of delivery, and the mode of delivery is mainly via onsite lectures. However, Greek universities are very familiar with online and blended learning technology.
