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.

Module Selection Instructions

Students in the 1^st year of studies are encouraged to select up to three modules, if they have the necessary required time. In this case they have to select the modules KFE51 and KFE60 which are compulsory, while the third module can be chosen between the KFE52 and KFE53.

If students do not possess the necessary required time, they are recommended to select as their first module, the one that is most similar to the subject of their bachelor’s degree.

Students in the 2^nd year of studies can choose the Master’s Diploma Thesis either with the simultaneous participation in the last module KFE52, KFE53, KFE61 or KFE62 either after successfully attending the four modules of the programme.

Students who wish to select the module KFE61 should have successfully attended the module KFE51.

The selection of the module precedes the selection of the Master’s Diploma Thesis.

During the module selection, all modules from the 1^st academic years must be selected and consequently the modules of the 2^nd academic year can be selected.

In order to complete the Programme in two academic years, students must successfully complete three modules in their first year (according to the aforementioned instructions), and the fourth module concurrently with the Master’s Diploma Thesis in the second academic year.

The presentation of the Master’s Diploma Thesis takes place after the successful completion of the program’s Modules.
