During the second year of their studies (on full-time enrolment or when at least the prerequisite Thematic Units are completed), students can choose to write a Master’s Thesis. The thesis consists of two modules, ΣΔΜΙΙ701A and ΣΔΜΙΙ701B.

The research subject falls within the topics covered by the Thematic Units of the MA in "Continuing Education and Lifelong Learning". In order to write a thesis, students should follow the procedure outlined below: 

  1. Create contacts with academic or adjunct faculty members of the Program who would be interested in supervising the thesis, based on their obligations, research interests, and the topic proposed by the student.
  1. Submission of the Master's Thesis Topic Statement Form (APKY63) to the member of the Academic or Adjunct Faculty interested in supervising the proposed dissertation.
  1. If APKY63 is accepted by the supervisor, then it must be forwarded to the Academic Coordinator of the Program for final approval, as well as to the Program secretariat.

It should be noted that if all of the above are not completed at least one month before the registrations for the next semester, the student will not be able to enrol in Master’s Thesis and will have to enrol in two of the remaining elective courses of the 3rd semester of studies.

During the first part of the Thesis, the student is required to complete form APKY157. This form serves as an interim progress report of the Thesis, with a length of 5,000-6,000 words, and describes the objectives as finalized in form APKY63, the main points of development of the topic, the evolution of research questions, etc. The form is uploaded on the eclass platform and must be signed by both the student and the Thesis supervisor. The first part of the Thesis is evaluated by the supervisor, with a Pass or Fail.

During the second part of the dissertation, the writing is completed and the dissertation is presented by the student in front of a three-member committee which decides on the final grade of the Master’s Thesis.
