The aim of the post-graduate degree programme “Technical Project Management” is to train and prepare graduate engineers to occupy responsible management positions in all phases of design and construction of technical projects. In order to achieve this objective, students should comprehend the following units: DXT50 – Principles of Project Organisation and Management, DXT51 – Construction Engineering, DXT60 – Legislation and Safety of Technical Projects and DXT61 – Economics of Technical Projects. After the successful completion of unit DXT50, the students will be able to know in depth and apply the principles of business management, how a construction site is organized and managed and will have an in-depth knowledge of information systems in the management of technical projects. Successful completion of unit DXT51 leads the postgraduate students to know and be able to apply the principles governing the analysis and design of construction, the principles of construction technology while having in-depth knowledge of construction materials and equipment for the construction of civil engineering works. Unit DXT60 aims at understanding the legislation on the execution of civil engineering works, the safety of construction works and the environmental impact of works and construction sites. Finally, with unit DXT61, postgraduate students will have an in-depth knowledge of the principles of economics of civil engineering projects, economic planning and estimation of projects as well as time and financial planning of projects.

The Post-graduate programme accepts graduates or higher institution diplomas of related disciplines. The programme is offered in Greek.

The knowledge of a foreign language and good computer-Internet skills would be useful for the successful participation in the programme.

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.

1st year of studies

2nd year of studies

In the first year of studies, the first chosen unit must be DCHT50 and/or DCHT51 and, if a third unit is to be chosen, it can be either DCHT60 or DCHT61. Students cannot choose both DCHT60 and DCHT61 unless they have successfully completed at least one of the DCHT50 and DCHT51. The Post-graduate Thesis is carried out either after the successful completion of all the units or in parallel with the last unit of the course (DCHT60 or DCHT61).

It is clarified that in order to complete the course in two academic years, the student must successfully complete three modules in the first year of study (according to the above guidelines) and the last module in the second year in parallel with the post-graduate thesis.

In the process of declaring a Thesis, the previous year’s Thesis should be exhausted first and then the next year’s Thesis declaration should begin.

However, the presentation of the post-graduate thesis will only take place after the successful completion of all the units in the course.

In order to obtain the degree, the successful completion of all four units of the course and the successful completion of the post-graduate thesis is mandatory.
