1. General Information

The Master’s Program in Electronics and Telecommunications (Radioelectrology) (ET-RE) has been operating since the academic year 2026-2027 with a reformed curriculum.
The program is two years long and leads to a Master’s Degree (MD) with the following two specializations:

  1. Electronics and
  2. Telecommunications.

After obtaining the MSc, students can continue their postgraduate studies to obtain a Doctoral Degree (DD).

The MSc programme accepts holders of first-cycle degrees from Greek universities and equivalent recognised foreign institutions, and in particular:

  • Graduates of Departments of Physics, Computer Science and Technology, Informatics and Telecommunications,
  • Diploma holders from the Departments of Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Computer Technology, Electronics and Computer Engineering, Information Technology and Electronic Systems Engineering, Information Technology, Computer and Telecommunications Engineering, Information and Communication Systems Engineering.
  • Graduates of the Hellenic Air Force Academy.
  • Holders of first cycle degrees from institutions not mentioned in the above categories with a programme of study relevant to that of the MSc. The relevance of the programme of study is examined by the Three-Member Selection and Examination Committee Candidates.

The MSc in Electronics and Telecommunications (Radioelectrology) is recognized by the Ministry of Digital Governance and is considered a prerequisite for obtaining a license to practice as a Radioelectronics Engineer A.

The course program is supplemented each year with a program of lectures by external experts from Greece or abroad. Educational excursions are also organized to productive entities and companies in the field of electronics and telecommunications technology.

2. Organization – Instructors

The ET-RE MSc program is administered in accordance with the relevant legal framework by the Coordinating Committee and the administrative bodies of the School of Physics.

Most of the teaching load is assigned to faculty members, teaching staff, and retired faculty members of the School of Physics. As part of the collaboration of the ET-RE MSc program with other institutions in Greece and abroad, part of the teaching of the courses has been undertaken by distinguished professors and researchers.

3. Infrastructure – Equipment

The existing technical infrastructure of the MSc program includes:

  • two (2) 25-seat classrooms suitably equipped with modern teaching aids.
  • One special room with modern computer equipment (computers equipped with special software, printers, internet connection, etc.) as well as
  • two laboratory rooms with workstations for all students and the appropriate laboratory equipment for performing specialized laboratory exercises.
  • design and analysis software for analog/digital integrated circuits (Europractice), microwave networks, antenna systems, and networks.

The laboratory and computing infrastructure includes a set of modern equipment for Radio Communications, Electromagnetic Compatibility, Electronics, Microcomputing Systems, Microelectronics, and Measurement Systems.

4. Linking teaching with research

The curriculum is linked to the research process as practiced by the instructors of the MSc program. In addition, the Diploma Thesis allows students to go through all the stages of a small-scale research project (interim presentation of preliminary work – bibliographic research, writing of the thesis, public presentation, and examination before a three-member examination committee).
In many cases, graduate students are invited to participate in research projects, either as part of their thesis or as an opportunity to deepen their research interests. Often, part of their work ends up being published in international journals and/or conferences.

5. Evaluation of the MSc

The MSc is evaluated as part of the periodic evaluation/certification of the academic unit (School of Physics) by the National Authority for Higher Education (E.TH.A.A.E.). In this context, the overall assessment of the work carried out by each MSc program is evaluated, as well as the degree to which the objectives set at its inception have been achieved, its sustainability, the absorption of graduates into the labor market, the degree of its contribution to research, its internal evaluation by postgraduate students, the advisability of extending its operation, as well as other elements related to the quality of the work produced and its contribution to the national strategy for higher education. Furthermore, in order to ensure and improve the quality of the MSc, the Quality Assurance Unit of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (MO.DI.P.) periodically conducts an internal evaluation of the M.Sc. program within the framework of the Institution’s Internal Quality Assurance System and in accordance with the guidelines and directions of the ETH.A.A.E.
