ⓘ Elective courses offered in the upcoming academic year are announced annually along with the teaching schedule.
ⓘ Course registration is carried out through the AUTH SIS portal during the first two weeks of each teaching semester.
Credit Units (ECTS)
- A total of 90 ECTS are required for the award of the MSc degree: 75 ECTS from taught courses and 15 ECTS from the Master’s Thesis.
- The 75 course ECTS are distributed as follows: (a) at least 30 ECTS from compulsory courses, and (b) at least 15 ECTS from compulsory elective courses.
- Students may register for, attend, and sit examinations in up to two additional elective courses beyond those required for the degree. The grades of these courses appear on the student’s transcript; however, only the best grades from the seven elective courses required for graduation are used in the calculation of the final degree grade.
- During the normal study period, the maximum workload a student may register for in any one semester corresponds to 30 ECTS.
