Curriculum
Structure & Content of the Programme
The programme consists of two (2) semesters of coursework and one (1) semester dedicated to the preparation of the Master’s Thesis.
To obtain the MSc degree, students must attend and successfully complete courses corresponding to a total of at least 60 ECTS credits, while the preparation and successful defense of the Master’s Thesis corresponds to an additional 30 ECTS credits.
Postgraduate students must declare the specialization (stream) they will follow at the beginning of the academic semester during course registration. A change of stream is allowed only once during the studies, upon the student’s request, which will be reviewed by the Programme’s Administrative Committee (PC).
Within the MSc Programme in Applied Mathematical Sciences, students can select from a set of courses categorized as:
Core Stream Courses (Υ)
Stream Elective Courses (ΚΕΥ)
Free Elective Courses (Ε)
Each Postgraduate Student:
- Attends the 2 compulsory stream courses (ECTS = 2×8 = 16).
- Selects 4 to 6 stream elective courses (ECTS = from 4×6 = 24 to 6×6 = 36).
- Chooses 1 course offered by the collaborating Schools.
- Completes the remaining ECTS to reach the required 30 ECTS per semester, selecting from the list of other available courses.
Additionally, with the consent of the academic advisor and approval from the Programme Committee (PC), the student may request to attend up to two (2) courses from another MSc or Interdepartmental MSc Programme, provided these fall within the scope of this MSc and are academically compatible.
