CONNECTING EDUCATION AND RESEARCH

Courseworks:

  • Introduction of students to problem solving
  • Introduction of students to the research process

           - Study of literature, documentation of problem requirements/objectives
           - Selection and combination of theoretical methods and technological tools
           - Development of critical thinking for comprehensive problem-solving
           - Validation of the proposed solution

Master's Thesis (M.Sc. Dissertation):

  • Individual, original, and research-oriented
  • Option to appoint an industrial advisor (an industry or technical company executive in fields related to the Master's program), who will assist the academic supervisor by providing industrial insights, data, and expertise in production
  • The assignment, elaboration, and examination of the Master's thesis are governed by the applicable regulations of NKUA and the internal rules of the Master's Program

Successful completion of the Master's program grants graduates the right to pursue a Ph.D. degree in higher education institutions

Ph.D. Program of the Department of Digital Industry Technologies
