Subjects covered:
Prerequisites: There are no prerequisite courses.
Evaluation: Students are assigned to submit five (5) written assignments during the academic year. The average grade of the five (5) written assignments, weighted at 30%, is taken into consideration for the calculation of the final grade. The grade of written assignments is activated only with a score equal to or above the pass level (≥5) in the final or resit exams.
Students must use specialized software for at least one of the aforementioned five written assignments. Certain software is accessible on the internet (student editions), while students may obtain other software through the ‘Structural Technology and Applied Mechanics’ Laboratory.

General Description: The research objects used in the writing of MSc theses are fully integrated into the main orientations of the MSc program, namely seismic engineering and the design of earthquake resistant structures.
The Director of the MSc compiles a large number of topics (about 50), on the basis of which students submit a proposal for a Thesis. The proposed topics are not binding but are intended to inspire the graduate students, Subsequently, the Director appoints the supervising member (Supervisor A) and the second member (Supervisor B) of the Review Committee for each submitted MSc proposal, provided that this proposal meets the basic academic requirements. Then Supervisor A, in collaboration with the student, finalizes the topic and the main content of the MSc Thesis and gives the final approval.
Modification of the topic is only possible within the first month of preparation. A request, with the necessary documentation, shall be submitted for approval to the Director of the MSc by Supervisor A, with notification to Supervisor B, member of the Review Committee. In the case of approval by the Director, the relevant administrative department shall be informed accordingly.
The theory and practice used to deepen knowledge is based to some extent on the knowledge and techniques acquired from the offered Modules. However, for further deepening and acquisition of specialized knowledge and skills, the student in collaboration with the supervisor of the MSc initially studies papers from the relevant international literature. Also, where required, the student learns the use of specialized software relevant to the topic of the MSc in order to cover the static/dynamic numerical analysis part. The literature study and software learning processes usually take 2-3 (two to three) months. The MSc Thesis is then prepared and supervised at all stages by Supervisor A with significant involvement, where needed, of Supervisor B. Postgraduate students are obliged, due to the special regulation that holds for the MSc program regarding the preparation of a Thesis (https://study.eap.gr/mod/folder/view.php?id=21757), to submit, in addition to the Final Thesis:
a) the Initial Progress Report (30/12 of each year)
b) the Final Progress Report (30/03 of each year)
c) the Extended Summary of the Thesis (together with the Final text of the Thesis)
Learning Outcomes: Upon successful completion of SMADE, students will be able to:
