The Grad Program

PRME-NC is structured in three (3) academic semesters. The total number of credits (ECTS) required to obtain the Master's Degree is ninety (90) credits. The 60 credits are acquired after attending and passing an examination in eight (8) courses in the first and second semester of study. 

The remaining 30 credits of the 3rd semester are acquired either by preparing a master's thesis (M.D.E.), or by a combination of preparing special scientific topics (S.S.T.) and attending courses. The number and objects of S.S.T. and courses, are assigned every academic year by the Department Assembly. The preparation of S.S.T. requires the attendance of seminar lectures lasting 2-4 weeks and the preparation of a paper or the composotion of an article in the relevant subject. Also, graduate students are required to attend the lecture program organized by the P.M.S.

The teaching language of the Program is Greek. It is possible that some courses are offered in the English language following the decision of the Coordinating Committee. The writing language of the Master's Thesis is Greek or English.

Diploma Thesis

The Master Thesis is clearly of a research nature, related to one of the courses of the Program, which, once completed, it is publicly presented before a three-member examination committee (1 supervisor and 2 faculty members) appointed by the Assembly of the Department of Civil Engineering after a relevant proposal by the Directorof teh Program. The members of the Three-Member Examining Committee must have the same or related scientific specialty as the subject matter of the the Program.

  • At the end of the 2nd semester, the postgraduate student submits an application in which the proposedMaster Thesis title, the proposed supervisor and a summary of the proposed thesis are attached. The application is made with the consent of the supervising professor.
  • Student applications are approved by the Departmental Assembly, which appoints the Three-Member Examining Committees.
  • The Master's Thesis. may be presented/examined in the examination period of the 3rd semester and no earlier than a period of three (3) months from the assignment date.
  • The supervisor may be a faculty member.

Special Scientific Topics (S.S.T)

The Special Scientific Topics (SST) have a computational, research or theoretical nature in subjects related to the academic subjects of the Program.

  • Every academic year, the Department Assembly announces the thematic areas of S.S.T., which will be available for selection by graduate students, the credit units corresponding to each S.S.T., the professors in charge, as well as the type of deliverable required.
  • Postgraduate students choose S.S.T., which correspond to 15 ECTS and make a register it at the Program's secretariat. The students' selections are approved by the Department Assembly.
  • S.S.T. can be written in either Greeor English language.
  • The evaluation of the S.S.T. is carried out by the professor in charge.
  • The average score in the different E.E.T. is defined. The S.S.T. are rated with a grade from 0-10 with a minimum pass grade of 5. In case that the grade in one (or more) S.S.T. is non-transferable, a new evaluation date is determined.
  • The S.S.T. are mandatorily checked by the electronic plagiarism prevention service of the institution's central library
