The MA “Graphic Arts – Multimedia” aims to provide specialized knowledge in the broader scientific and modern cognitive subject of Graphic Arts Technology and Multimedia. The curriculum harmoniously combines knowledge: a) in the field of arts and visual creation, communication design and creative design for print and electronic media with the help of visual communication, b) in the broader scientific and technological field of graphic arts, publishing, printing, typography and packaging, and with the study of the fields of design of web applications, interactive design systems and interface design. In particular, the Programme of Studies aims to offer students the opportunity to cultivate their creativity and acquire knowledge and skills in the creative design of printed and electronic media, in the administrative, managerial, technological and production processes of graphic arts, publishing, printing, design and production of packaging, as well as in the design and development of multimedia applications and web applications with emphasis on the study of interactive systems and applications.
The MA offers comprehensive and up-to-date scientific knowledge in the above fields, so that its graduates are able to support similar applications that often arise in their professional or artistic activity.

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.)
Marking:
For the evaluation of the application to the Postgraduate Studies Programme, it will be examined whether the candidate’s institution of study is or may be included in the National Register of Recognised Higher Education Institutions of Foreign Countries and whether the candidate’s degree is or may be included in the National Register of Types of Degrees of Recognised Institutions of Foreign Countries.
The Hellenic Open University, if the degree is included in the list of article 307 of Law No. 4957/2022, must request a “Certificate of Place of Study”, which is issued and sent by the foreign university. If the place of study or part of the studies is confirmed as the Greek territory, the degree is not recognized, unless the part of the studies that took place in the Greek territory is in a public higher education institution or in a recognized foreign educational institution within the meaning of paragraph b) of article 299 of Law No. 4957/2022.
The MA “Graphic Arts – Multimedia” is structured in two (2) academic years, which include four (4) Thematic Units (Th.U.) and the preparation of a Diploma Thesis (D.E.). The minimum duration for the completion of the programme is two (2) years. The total number of credits (ECTS) required for the award of the Master’s degree is 120 ECTS.
During the first year of studies, if you declare one module you can declare either GTP50 or GTP51.
In the second year of studies, if you choose one module, you can declare either GTP60 or GTP61.
The presentation of the Postgraduate Diploma Thesis will take place after the successful completion of all the modules of the programme.
In the process of declaring Modules, the Modules of the previous year must be exhausted first and then the declaration of the next year’s Modules must begin.
For example, if a postgraduate student has successfully completed one module from the first year and in the next year wishes to select one module, he/she must necessarily select the second module from the first year and one from the next year and so on.
As a reminder, students can declare a total of up to two modules or the Postgraduate Diploma Thesis in parallel with the modules of second year.
In order to complete the programme in two academic years, you must successfully complete in the first year of studies two modules and in the second year the last two modules in parallel with the Postgraduate Diploma Thesis.
It is recommended that you balance your time so that you do not choose more modules than you can handle.
