Language : The thesis can be written in Greek, English, German, or French.
Duration : A minimum of three and a maximum of seven years, unless an extension is approved by the Department.
Supervision and Obligations : The thesis is supervised by a three-member committee and, upon completion, is examined by a seven-member jury, including the three supervising members of staff. Annual progress reports should be submitted to the department until the completion of the degree. Active PhD candidates are required to act as invigilators once per semester for undergraduate exams of the Department.
Fees : There are no fees for doctoral study.
PhD study can also be carried out in collaboration with one of the recognized Greek research centres or institutes.
