The Postgraduate Programme is structured over four (4) semesters:

• In the 1st semester, four (4) compulsory courses are taught, each with 7,5 ECTS.
• In the 2nd semester, four (4) compulsory courses are taught, each with 7,5 ECTS.
• In the 3rd semester, students specializing in “Cognitive Neuroscience of Language and Neurorehabilitation” are required to complete a mandatory internship with a total duration of 250 hours, worth 10 ECTS. Meanwhile, students specializing in “Language Disorders and Clinical/Educational Applications” are required to complete an internship of 500 hours, worth 20 ECTS, depending on the specialization they choose. Additionally, students specializing in “Cognitive Neuroscience of Language and Neurorehabilitation” must choose one of the two offered elective courses, each worth 10 ECTS. Also, during the 3rd semester, students from both specializations are required to conduct a literature review and research plan for the Master’s Thesis (MDE I), worth 10 ECTS.
• In the 4th semester, students from both specializations are required to complete, write, and present their Master’s Thesis (MDE II), worth 20 ECTS, and select one elective course from the two offered, each worth 10 ECTS.

Courses will be conducted 70% via distance learning.

The official language of instruction for the program is Greek, although some courses may be taught in other languages. The thesis has to be written is Greek.
