Α Degree awarded by a Greek public University or by a recognized foreign Institution of equivalent status or by a Technological Education Institute is required.
To obtain the postgraduate title (M.Sc.) from the Graduate Studies Program "Computational Physics" of the Department of Physics, graduate students are required to successfully complete the program
a) Required courses (total of 4): ECTS 30
b) Mandatory electives (Total 2): ??ECTS 15
c) Elective courses (total of 4): ECTS 30
d) Thesis: ECTS 15
During the first semester students are required to attend and successfully complete four compulsory subjects. In the second semester students are required to select, attend and successfully complete 2 of the 4 offered compulsory electives and 2 out of 21 offered electives. In the third semester students are required to select, watch and successfully complete out of 23 offered electives and complete a dissertation thesis which is graded by a three member committee after a public presentation.
The aim of the program is to provide high-level graduate courses aiming to create high-level executives who will be able to work in organizations and companies and offer their services to education and research.
The main objective of the MSc Computational Physics is the student
The knowledge and skills gained from this process have applications in many other scientific and technological fields beyond physics. The MSc graduates acquire skills that allow them to use:
a) Computational techniques of dynamics that are now widely applied in the area of ??chemistry, biology, environment, and several branches of engineering,
b) Numerical techniques of electromagnetism in telecommunications and electronics,
c) Applying the quantum mechanical techniques in basic research and new technologies,
d) Computational techniques of statistical physics applied to all branches of science and engineering, as well as in finance,
and
e) Technical computational physics with numerous applications in the educational technology field.
The experience gained with the training in computational physics enables the program
Not applicable.
The qualification is a terminal award and allows access to doctoral studies
A scale of 1 to 10 applies to the marks of each subject in the Hellenic Higher Education.

3 SEMESTERS, 90 ECTS.
A full academic year is equivalent to 60 ECTS units and each semester to 30 ECTS (European Credit Transfer System) (1ECTS=25-30 student work load hours). Compliance with the ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System) regulations started in 2007, when the Greek Legislation was harmonized with the relevant European one (Ministerial Decision no Φ5/89656/β3, art. 1-3, Hellenic Government Gazette no 1466/2007/B). Each course is credited with a number of ECTS (>=2) according to the student
