The new curriculum for the Program of Postgraduate Studies in Electronics and Tecommunications (Radioelectrology) will be implemented starting in the 2026-2027 academic year. It leads to the Master of Science Degree (MSc) with the following two specializations:
α. Electronics and
β. Telecommunications
Language of Instruction
The language of instruction in the program is Greek or, if there is a visiting professor from abroad, English. Lecture notes and bibliography may be provided in English.
Selection of Specialization
After the end of the first semester, the student selects the specialization they will pursue. Selection priority is determined by the ranking order based on students’ performance in first-semester courses.
Curriculum Structure
The curriculum is structured over four (4) semesters.
- The first semester includes core courses that are common to both specializations.
- The remaining three semesters include, in addition to the common compulsory courses, compulsory specialization courses, elective courses, and the diploma thesis.
The courses are semester-long with mandatory attendance. The minimum time required to earn the M.Sc. is four (4) academic semesters. Each course is completed in 13 weeks and the number of hours per week are specified in the detailed curriculum.
The curriculum is supplemented each year with a series of lectures by visiting experts from Greece and abroad. Educational field trips are also organized to production facilities and companies in the electronics and telecommunications technology sectors.
A total of 120 credit units (CU) / ECTS is required to earn the M.Sc. The distribution by course category is as follows
| Core Courses | 44 ECTS |
| Specialization Courses (compulsory) | 36 ECTS |
| Core Elective Courses | 5 ECTS |
| General Elective Courses | 5 ECTS |
| Diploma Thesis | 30 ECTS |

Core Elective Courses (ECTS.: 5)
General Elective Courses (ECTS.: 5)
Diploma Thesis (ECTS: 30)
The thesis is research-based and contains original results. It is a single course divided into two semester parts and is graded with a (single) grade either in the winter or spring semester. The minimum duration of the thesis is one calendar semester (6 months) and includes an interim presentation of the preliminary work – bibliographic research, the writing of the thesis, and its public presentation and examination before a three-member examination committee. Students are encouraged to present their research work at international conferences or publish it in peer-reviewed international journals.
Mandatory attendance at lectures
During their studies, students are required to attend 10 lectures on topics related to research in cutting-edge technologies in Electronics and Telecommunications (Topics in technical project management, guest lectures by experts from Greece and abroad, presentations of master’s theses and doctoral dissertations, research papers at selected conferences, general topics such as bibliographic research, report writing, etc.).
Course Attendance
- All courses are taught in person in classrooms and laboratories provided by the Department of Physics.
- Course attendance is mandatory. The graduate student is required to attend all laboratory course hours regularly and without exception, and at least eighty percent (80%) of the theoretical course hours in the curriculum.
Examination – Grading
The evaluation of students in each course is the responsibility of the instructor(s) and includes
- written,
- or oral,
- or laboratory exams,
- or the completion of assignments,
- or a combination of the above.
The grading scale ranges from 0 to 10, and the passing grade is 6 or higher. If a student fails a course, they are required to retake the course from the beginning (with all associated obligations).
Final Grade
The grade for the Master’s Degree (M.Sc.) is calculated as the weighted average of the courses in the Master’s Program and the Master’s Thesis (weighting is based on ECTS) and is calculated, to two decimal places, as follows:
The grade for each course and the Master’s Thesis is multiplied by the corresponding number of ECTS, and the sum of the products is divided by the minimum number of credit units (120) required for the award of the M.Sc.
Entry into force
The revised new curriculum for the Master’s Program in Electronics and Telecommunications (Radioelectrology) will be implemented starting in the first semester of the 2026–2027 academic year.
