From the academic year 2018-2019, the reformed MSc in Environmental Sciences, approved and published in the Government Gazette 2397/22.6.2018 Vol.B, based on the provisions of Law 4485/2017, is in operation. The subject of the Inter-departmental Master’s Programme is the interdisciplinary field of Environmental Sciences of Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Earth Sciences, Materials Sciences and Applied Mathematics. The program has a duration of four semesters and is addressed to graduates of Faculties of Natural Sciences, Engineering, Agriculture, Medicine and other environment-related Faculties of Universities of Applied Sciences. The aim of the program is to provide the above-mentioned graduates with high quality education, specialization in the analysis of environmental issues, study and management of environmental processes and problems, and the possibility of conducting research for scientific progress in the field of environment.
The Interdepartmental MSc awards a Master’s degree in the interdisciplinary field of “Environmental Sciences”. The degrees are awarded jointly by the cooperating departments, whose names appear on the diplomas.
The MSc courses are semester-long and include lectures, tutorials, laboratory exercises, field exercises, seminars, etc.
The MSc degree requires the successful completion of all required courses, at least two elective courses, and the completion of the dissertation.
The maximum number of admissions is set at twenty (20).
