Course Content (Syllabus)
The Research Methods and Scientific Essays Writing covers a wide range of methodological topics that help the students understand the processes of conducting scientific research and writing academic papers. The course design combines lectures, practical exercises, and individual guidance, offering the students both theoretical knowledge and practical skills for conducting research and writing scientific essays. The aim of the course is to provide valuable assistance in preparing their postgraduate design thesis.
The Intensive Workshop / Seminar on Environmental Design focuses on the synthesis and application of environmental design principles in real-world projects. Through intensive work and collaborative activities, the students will develop the essential skills for creating sustainable solutions in the field of environmental architectural and urban design. Combining guest lectures and group work, the course aims to foster collaboration between the students and the teaching staff, expand their scientific horizons, enhance their skills, and create opportunities for broader scientific partnerships on environmental design issues. These activities are part of an effort to strengthen the outreach of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.
The Educational Trip with Report Writing aims to provide the students with practical insights, through on-site visits, into the real-world applications of the theoretical knowledge acquired during the courses. By participating in the educational excursion, the students will have the opportunity to explore and analyze real examples of environmental architectural and urban design through planned tours of buildings and complexes of particular value in cities in Greece and abroad.
