Note:

Holders of a degree or diploma of higher education means graduates of Greek Universities or Polytechnics or Higher School of Fine Arts or Higher School of Pedagogical and Technological Education or Higher Technological Educational Institutions (ATEI) or those who hold academically equivalent first cycle degrees from recognized foreign educational institutions with the degrees awarded by the Greek Higher Educational Institutions, in accordance with the provisions of article 304 of Law No. 4957/2022 (Government Gazette 141/21.07.2022, vol.)

Clarification regarding foreign academic institutions

When evaluating an application to a Postgraduate Study Programme, the University will examine whether the candidate’s institution of study is included, or is eligible to be included, in the National Registry of Recognized Foreign Higher Education Institutions, and whether the candidate’s degree is included, or is eligible to be included, in the National Registry of Degree Types Awarded by Recognized Foreign Institutions. If the degree is listed under Article 307 of Law 4957/2022, the Hellenic Open University is required to request a “Certificate of Place of Study”, which must be issued and sent directly by the foreign university. If the certificate confirms that the place of study, or any part of the studies, took place within Greek territory, the degree cannot be recognized—unless the portion of studies completed in Greece was carried out at a public Higher Education Institution or at a recognized foreign educational institution, as defined in point (b) of Article 299 of Law 4957/2022.

The Postgraduate Programme “Contemporary Italian Culture and Special Issues of Terminology and Interpretation” is structured in four (4) academic semesters, which include eight (8) compulsory Thematic Units (Th.U.), one (1) Thematic Unit (Th.U.) of choice, two (2) Laboratory Thematic Units (L.Th.U.) of choice and a postgraduate thesis. The minimum period of study is four (4) academic semesters. For the award of the Postgraduate Diploma of Specialization (P.D.S.), the successful completion of either eight (8) Thematic Units and two (2) Thematic Units, or nine (9) Thematic Units and one (1) Thematic Unit, as well as the successful completion and presentation of the Master’s Thesis in both options is mandatory.

In detail, the structure of the Programme is as follows:

Instructions for the selection of Th.U.

You can choose from one (1) to three (3) Th.U. per semester (30 ECTS), with the limitation of 30 ECTS per semester.

The selection of the Th.U. is made in the order of the structure. Therefore, in the first semester, if you wish to select one (1) Th.U., you must necessarily declare ITA50. If you wish to choose two (2) Th.U., you must choose ITA50 and ITA51. If you wish to choose three (3) Th.U., you must choose ITA50, ITA51 and ITA52. Therefore, the student is required to select the first 3 Th.U.in sequential order.

In the second semester, if you have successfully completed the Th.U. ITA50, in the second semester the student, with a limit of 3 Th.U., must first of all choose the remaining ones from the first semester and additionally choose one or more Th.U. from the second semester. If you have not registered for the examinations for ITA50, you must register for it in the second semester.

In the third semester, if you have successfully completed ITA50, you must first choose any remaining Th.U. from the total of the Th.U. offered in the first two (2) semesters, always with a limit of 3 TH.U. Since, apart from the compulsory Th.U. ITA60, the Th.U. offered in the third semester are electives, you can choose 2 out of the 3. If you have not registered for ITA50, you will be obliged to register for it in the third semester.

The successful completion of the nine (9) Th.U.offered in the first three semesters is required for the preparation of the Master’s Thesis (ITA 64), while the ITA 64 can be declared in parallel with the preparation of the Master’s Thesis, if it is included in the 4th semester.

However, during the process of registering for a Th.U., the Th.U.of the previous semester must be exhausted first and then the subjects of the next semester must be registered.

Attention: the limit of three (3) Th.U. per semester does not include Th.U. in which the students are re-registered after having earned the right to participate in examinations, provided that the total number of Th.U. registered per year does not exceed 60 ECTS.

For the award of the Postgraduate Diploma of Specialization (P.D.Th.), the successful completion of either eight (8) Th.U. and two (2) ECTS, or nine (9) Th.U. and one (1) ECTS, as well as the successful completion and presentation of the Postgraduate Master’s Thesis in both options is mandatory.
