The Academic Supervisor of the Postgraduate Programme of Studies is Associate Professor Nikolaos Monokrousos, Director of the Programme.

2. The postgraduate studies for this MSc programme lead to the acquisition of a Master’s Degree. The duration of the studies and ECTS credited depends on the kind of stream being chosen by the students. This stream is determined by the nature of the undertaken dissertation (experimental or non-experimental dissertation). For students who choose a non-experimental dissertation, the full-time attendance of taught courses for two academic semesters and the preparation of a master’s dissertation for one more semester is required. For those who choose an experimental dissertation, the programmes curriculum requires the full-time attendance of taught courses for two academic semesters plus two academic semesters for the preparation of the master’s dissertation. For students who wish to attend the programme on a part-time basis, the programme gives this possibility upon their request. In this case, the duration of the MSc is doubled.
