The School of Humanities, Social Sciences and Economics of the University Center of International Programmes of Studies of the International Hellenic University invites interested parties to apply for the Postgraduate Programme of Studies "MSc in Sustainable Agriculture and Business" for the academic year 2024-2025. All courses are taught exclusively in English, whereas the courses in the Postgraduate Programme "MSc in Sustainable Agriculture and Business" will be conducted through flexible learning methods combining the traditional face-to-face education with distant learning.

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

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 will 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 are required. For those who will 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.

The International Hellenic University accepts, after a careful selection process, graduates from Greek universities or equivalent institutions from abroad and from Technological Educational Institutions in related subject areas according to Law 4957/2022 and 4610/2019, as applicable.
