The objective of the PSP is to offer post-graduate specialization for teachers in secondary education on the basic scientific axes of the Natural Sciences.
QUALITY POLICY
QUALITY TARGET 2023
The PSP offers students the following scientific knowledge and technological and methodological skills:
- Overview of the basic scientific theories of Physics, Chemistry, and Biology,
- Comprehension and ability to teach the scientific substance of the Classic and Modern theories of the Physical Sciences, in addition to their role in the unified scientific perception of the world we live in,
- The necessary skills and scientific training to utilize the scientific method in order to ascertain the scientific veracity of theories and hypotheses,
- The methodological training to plan and implement educational and/or popularization activities in Secondary Educational environments, the wider school community, or the local community, and
- Training in the use of electronic methods and software technologies, in order to plan and create electronic educational material.
Curriculum Academic Credits (ECTS): 120
Beginning in academic term 2013-14, the minimum study period is 2 academic terms.
Classification according to the Unesco ISCED-2011 code
– according to field of education: 44 Physical Sciences
– according to education level: 7
Classification according to Unesco code ISCED-2013
– according to field of education: 0538 Physical Sciences involving Physics, Chemistry and Biology
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.

Module Selection Instructions
Students in the 1st term are encouraged to select up to three T.U.s, from the following: KFE51, KFE52, KFE53, KFE60. If students do not possess the necessary time, they are recommended to select as their first T.U. that which is most similar thematically to the subject of their bachelor’s degree, and a second from the remaining three T.U.s. Students may elect to write their diploma thesis concurrently with participation in the final T.U. (KFE51, KFE52, KFE53, KFE60, or KFE61), or after successful completion of all four T.U. in the curriculum. Students who wish to select KFE61 must first successfully complete KFE51. Modules KFE51 and KFE60 are compulsory
In order to complete the PSP in two academic terms, students must successfully complete three T.U.s in their first term (according to the aforementioned instructions), and the fourth T.U. concurrently with their diploma thesis in the second term.
When selecting T.U.s, students must first pass all the available T.U.s that belong to the previous term and then select T.U.s belonging to the next term.
Students shall present their Master’s Diploma Thesis upon successful completion of all the T.U.s in the curriculum.
To earn the Diploma, students must successfully complete four. T.U.s and their Master’s Diploma Thesis.
