Goals and Objectives of the Postgraduate study program

The objective of the MSc " Applied Gerontology and Geriatrics " is the provision of specialized and in-depth theoretical knowledge and practical training in necessary clinical skills in the offered field of "applied gerontology with elements of geriatrics".

The aim of the Interdisciplinary Postgraduate Studies Program is to foster and promote knowledge and research in the scientific fields of geriatrics, gerontology, as well as of the social and psychological problems that emerge. In addition, the aim is to supply postgraduate students with specialized knowledge about the elderly (chronic diseases, pain, rehabilitation, nutrition, surgical implications, welfare, fragility and care), in order to prepare them for a more thorough understanding of the needs of the elderly, for a successful professional career.

 

  The postgraduate degree awarded

The MSc awards a single Diploma of Postgraduate Studies (MSc) in "Biomedical and Molecular Sciences in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Diseases" without specializations.

Admissions

In the MSc graduates of the Departments of Medicine, Biomedical Sciences, Dentistry, Pharmacy, Biology, Nursing, Medical Laboratories, Veterinary Medicine, Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Molecular Biology, Agriculture, Geology, Geology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, Engineering, Engineering, Engineering Schools, Economics and Management Sciences are admitted, also graduates of Computer Science, Social and Humanitarian Studies, Physical Education, Nutrition, Aesthetics-Cosmetology and other Departments of Universities of the national territory and of recognized similar foreign institutions as well as graduates of the Departments of T.E.I. and Military Schools of relevant disciplines.

Moreover, graduates of other Universities Departments or other Higher Education Institutions can also be admitted, following a decision of the Special Interdisciplinary Committee (SIC), provided that their thesis, which will be prepared in the above mentioned MSc, is absolutely relevant to their degree. The attendance of additional courses may be deemed necessary for graduates of Departments with a lesser relevance of the subject matter, following a decision of the Special Interdisciplinary Committee.

 

   Duration of studies

The MSc program has a duration of four semesters.

A total of 120 credits (ECTS) are required for the award of the present MSc.

For obtaining the degree, compulsory attendance and successful examination is required in all courses distributed in the first two semesters of study (A and B) (30 ECTS respectively), all of which are compulsory. During the third semester of studies, the practical training (30 ECTS) is carried out, while during the fourth (D) semester of studies, the successful completion and preparation of the postgraduate thesis is required, the number of credits (ECTS) of which is set at 30.
