Brief Historical Sketch
I
t was Prime Minister Alexandros Papanastasiou who took
the initial steps towards the foundation of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in 1924, during a period when Northern Greece had just been liberated from the Ottoman occupation, and when the revitalization of the “New Lands” - as the
recently-liberated areas were then called - was regarded as a
national necessity.
The law establishing the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki
was voted on the 5th of June by the then constitutional committee,
following numerous and prolonged discussions, which continued
even after the law was passed. Within this law, greater emphasis
was placed on the development of the Exact Sciences, a direction
in line with the mentality of the era. During the first year alone, in
1926, the School of Philosophy came into operation, based in
the “Allatini” Building, formerly a villa but in which nowadays the
offices of the Prefecture of Thessaloniki are housed. In October
10
1927, the School was moved to a new location on Ethnikis Amynis
Street, which is today the most famous historical building on the
University campus and which now houses only one part of the
School of Philosophy. With the passing of the years, the remaining schools came into being in succession. The School of Engineering was founded and began its operations in 1955.
In 1982, under Law 1268 for the construction and operation of Institutions of Higher Education, there was a general
reconstruction of the structures of the Aristotle University of
Thessaloniki, as with all universities, through the recognition of
departments as being a fundamental academic unit, through
the reconstruction of the schools and the merging of departments into new schools.
After 1982, other smaller schools or independent departments were established, which today all together constitute
the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DEPARTMENT
Departments and Educational or Research Units off-Campus
Some of the research facilities belonging to the Aristotle
University of Thessaloniki are located off-campus due both
to the particularly dense construction of the buildings and for
functional reasons. Some of these facilities are situated outside
the city limits, or even in other towns. These are:
A. Educational Departments:
• The Department of Theatre Studies at 122, Egnatia
Street.
• The Department of Fine and Applied Arts, whose facilities
are located in Stavroupoli (one part is also housed within
the campus).
• The Department of Music Studies in Thermi.
• The Department of Sports Studies in Thermi.
• The Department of Sports Studies in Agios Ioannis,
Serres.
• The Department of Journalism and Mass Media Studies
at 46, Egnatia Street.
B. Educational or Research Units:
• The Experimental School, situated in the city centre.
• The Experimental Primary Schools of the Department
of Primary Education, which are housed within the former
premises of the Department of Pedagogy.

above sea level.
The University Campsite in Kassandra, Halkidiki (which
is used by both the staff and students of the Aristotle University during their summer holidays.)
The Central Library of A.U.Th
T
he Central Library of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki was founded in 1927. It
is the second largest library in Greece after the National Library as well as being the
largest and most well-organised library in Northern Greece. It is housed in its own separate building in the heart of the University campus and, along with the libraries belonging
to the individual departments and schools, constitutes the library system of the A.U.Th.,
containing around 800.000 individual book titles and 300.000 volumes. The Library also
subscribes to approximately 3.500 scientific journals from around the world.
Both access to the library and the right to search for information there are free
to the students and to the general public. Since 1974, the Library has been a member of the International Organization I.F.L.A. and can loan and borrow books from
other libraries worldwide. In addition, it can order Ph.D theses on microfiche as well
as being able to provide photocopies of articles published in journals, or any other
relevant material.
All the services are provided free-of-charge with the exception of the international
borrowing services, for which only the cost of postage is charged.

Student Welfare and Support
S
tudents are provided with a number of administrative, financial and other support facilities by the state in order to enable
them to conduct their studies in the most effective way.
Such facilities include mainly the award of scholarships,
the provision of subsistence and accommodation (for students
with a low family income), hospital treatment and medical cover, counseling, internet access, a public transport pass, and
so on. Similarly, the Aristotle University offers all of the above
support to its students as well as giving them the opportunity
to use the University Sports Centre.
As far as financial support available is concerned, all stu-
dents are provided with free course materials and access to
the University libraries, while administrative support is mainly
involved with the postponement of military service so that studies may be completed.
Finally, within the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, there
is a special office, which provides students with information and
advice on graduate and postgraduate studies both in Greece
and abroad, as well as on their future career. The particular
office responsible for the School of Engineering is housed in
the basement of the Student Union Building (Internet address:
http//:www.cso.auth.gr).
Teaching material
Τ
he teaching work is supplemented by coursebooks
and other material, which are provided free-of-charge
to all students. Students may also be provided with
information about and access to Greek and foreign
bibliographies.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DEPARTMENT
Scholarships available for Higher Education
The Foundation for National Scholarships (I.K.Y.) awards
scholarships and awards to students who perform exceptionally
well in either the entrance examinations for institutions of higher
education or in the examinations in their departments.
Scholarships for graduate and postgraduate studies,
awards and financial support are also awarded by various inheritances and donations which have been given to the University. The conditions for the award of such scholarships are
usually the place of birth of the canditate, low family income,
progress and exceptional academic performance in studies,
and so on.
The Research Committee of the Aristotle University of
Thessaloniki offers approximately fifty scholarships to students each year. These scholarships derive from the income
that the institution gains from the deduction of 10% from funded research projects.
Finally, a considerable number of scholarships are offered
each year by different organizations, bodies and foreign governments.
Information regarding these scholarships is provided to
the public by the Secretariat of the Department of Civil Engineering or by the Donations Office of the Aristotle University
(Grafio Klirodotimaton), which is housed in the Administration
Building (tel. 2310-995113)
Course Fees for Foreign Students
Foreign students who wish to attend a graduate or postgraduate course in Greece should first be issued with a “sketiki
theorisi eisodou” (authorization to enter the University). Foreign
students who wish to study in the School of Engineering are
required to pay registration and course fees, which amount to
493 Euros for the current academic year (2004-’05). Students
are not permitted to take part in examinations until this sum
of money has been deposited.
Health Care
All students of higher education, both at graduate and postgraduate level, are provided with health care free-of-charge
(medical costs and hospital treatment). The expenses for this
health care are covered by the University’s budget or by that
of the Students’ Association.
Graduate students no longer qualify for health care once
the duration of their studies exceeds two years beyond the
anticipated length of their course. Similarly, postgraduate
students lose the right to health care when the duration of
their studies exceeds the minimum anticipated length of their
course by half again.
Centre for Counselling and Psychological Support (C.C.P.S.)
T
he Centre for Counselling and Psychological Support
offers free counselling and psychological support,
either on an individual basis or in groups, on subjects
related to students’ emotional, social and academic
life as well as those concerning social, family, personal
and sexual relationships, psychosomatic problems
and difficulties in adapting to University life or the
surrounding environment. The C.C.P.S. is housed within
the premises of the Health Care Centre in the Students’
Union Building.

The University's Legal and Institutional Operational Framework
U
niversities are classified as fully self-governing public legal entities. Being under supervision by the Ministry of
National Education and Religion, they are entitled to government financial support in accordance with the laws concerning such organizations. As set out in the Hellenic Constitution,
higher education is to be provided exclusively by the state
and the establishment of private universities is not permitted.
• Each A.E.I. (Institution of Higher Education) consists of
schools which cover a total number of related sciences
so as to ensure their mutual interaction and coordination
which is essential for research and development.
•
Similarly, these schools are divided into departments. The
department is the fundamental academic unit and covers
certain sientific field. The department’s studies programme
leads to a common degree.
• Departments are also divided into divisions. Each division
coordinates the teaching process of one particular part of
the scientific field of the related department.
• Finally, the laboratories, the study areas-libraries and
the clinics are smaller units belonging to a division, department or school, and again cover part of the field of that
science.
University Administration
The administration of the Universitie is carried out by entities elected on the basis of democratic principles and collective procedures. These entities (Rectorship, Senate, General
Assemblies, etc.) address all forms of teaching, research and
14
administrative activity.
Bodies in Higher Education
These include: the Senate, the Rector’s Council and the
Rector.

HISTORI C AL
OVERVIE W
he last major school that was established within the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki was the School of Engineering, founded under a decree in 1955, which assigned
the operation of 4 departments: the Department of Civil Engineering, the Department of Architecture, the Department of
Mechanical and Electrical Engineering and the Department
of Chemical Engineering. Later, the Department of Rural
and Surveying Engineering and the General Science Department were added, while the Department of Mechanical
Engineering and the Department of Electrical Engineering
became two separate departments. Consequently, the School
today consists of 7 departments.
The School began operation during the academic year
1955-’56 with only 29 students and 4 teaching staff. The first
department was that of Civil Engineering, followed a year later
by the Department of Architecture. Prior to the completion of
the School’s buildings, these two departments were housed in
the basements of the Department of Chemisty and the School
of Philosophy, where the first professors and students of the
School of Engineering were greatly influenced by the spirit and
liberal ideas promoted there.
THE EARLY YEARS
The foundation stone of the School of Engineering was
laid in 1958. The initial section of the building complex, with a
total area of approximately 16.000 m2, consisted of an eightstorey central block, the two three-storey wings of the Department of Civil Engineering and the Department of Architecture
and the building housing the Laboratory of Strength of Materials. Over the following years, a large number of new buildings
were added to the initial group. So, today, the School covers
a total area exceeding 50.000 m2, which includes numerous
17
DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING, ARISTOTLE UNIVERSITY OF THESSALONIKI
teaching rooms, amphitheatres, lecture rooms, laboratories,
libraries, study-rooms, design studios, and so on. Today, the
School of Engineering is the largest cluster of University buildings in Thessaloniki.
In 1960-’61, the Department of Civil Engineering and the
Department of Architecture were transferred to their permanent
newly-built premises in the School of Engineering, where they
have remained ever since.
The Department of Rural and Surveying Engineering was
founded and began operation in the academic year 1962-63.
It remained largely unchanged until 1975, with only two professors and with most of the courses being taught by members
of the Department of Civil Engineering.
THE DEVELOPMENT
The Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering and the Department of Chemical Engineering came into
being in 1972-’73, despite a number of drawbacks faced.
During the academic year 1976-’77, the Department of
Mechanical and Electrical Engineering was divided into two
separate departments: the Department of Mechanical Engineering and the Department of Electrical Engineering,
which was later renamed as the Department of Electrical
and Computer Engineering.
Finally, in 1982, with the application of Law 1268 (better
known as the framework-law for higher education) the General
Department was founded. It comprised the former chairs of the
general courses (Mathematics, Physics, Technical Engineering, etc.) and today supports the other 6 departments in the
18
teaching of these courses. To this effect, the department has
its own teaching staff and researchers, yet does not have its
own students and does not offer any degrees.
A LIVELY COURSE OF DEVELOPMENT
During these years, the School of Engineering went
through intermittent periods of intensity and calmness, playing
an active role in all the events that preoccupied the academic
community and actively taking part in the country’s struggles
for a creative revival, progress and prosperity.
The School of Engineering contributed significantly to
the cultural life and development of the country by organising or participating in many cultural events, development
programmes as well as in the implementation of major works
throughout Northern Greece.
During the 7 years of military dictatorship (1967-1974), the
School of Engineering, along with the Aristotle University of
Thessaloniki as a whole, became a bastion of resistance. Many
students were imprisoned without trial, condemned by courtmartial and expelled from the University for their anti-dictatorship actions, while some professors were dismissed or forced
to retire. The culmination of the anti-dictatorial struggle began
on the morning of 16th November 1973, when 2,500 students
from the University occupied the School of Engineering building in support of their colleagues in Athens and stood alongside
the entire population of Greece. On the morning of the 17th November, army tanks and police forced the students to abandon
the building, subsequently arresting many of them.
THE SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING TODAY
Today, the School of Engineering has approximately 7,800
students and 332 teaching staff and researchers, 57 members
of the S.T.S., 15 members of the S.L.T.S., while its technical
and administrative needs are covered by a further total of 149
members of the S.T.L.S, 41 administrative employees and 14
employees on unlimited-term contracts. Within the School of
Engineering, there is one professor for approximately 20-25
students. The Department of Civil Engineering is the largest
department as far as both the number of professors and the
number of students is concerned.
Today, the School of Engineering demonstrates rich activity not only in education but also in research. It has upgraded
study programmes that sufficiently cover the broad spectrum
of both classic science and that of newer directions, while its
research programmes amount to millions of Euros, covering
almost 40% of the total research budget for the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DEPARTMENT
The Department of Civil Engineering
THE OLDEST DEPARTMENT WITHIN THE SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING
50 YEARS OF ACADEMIC LIFE
The Department of Civil Engineering, established in October 1955, is the oldest department within the School of Engineering. In its initial stages, it constituted of 14 chairs, not all
staffed from the beginning.
In the years followed, new chairs were added, in accordance with the planning of the School and the requirements
of the study programmes, while the number of teaching staff
increased and the department advanced on a self-reliant
course, also offering its help to the new departments within
the School.
ORGANIZATION AND STRUCTURE
An essential stage in the framework and structure of the
Department came in 1982, following application of Law 1268
concerning universities.
According to this law, the Department constitutes a selfcontained academic unit, which awards a specific degree and
which together with the other 6 departments constitutes the
School of Engineering.
The department is organized into 4 Divisions, to which 17
legislated laboratories now belong:
• Division of Structural Engineering
• Division of Hydraulics and Environmental Engineering
• Division of Geotechnical Engineering
• Division of Transport, Infrastructure, Management and Regional Planning Engineering.
As shown in the diagram on the next page, two additional
laboratories are currently being established, while the Laboratory of Building Construction and Building Materials is being

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DEPARTMENT
Studies and research
Graduate studies (5-year programme leading to the Diploma)
The Department today provides academic education to
almost 2,400 students, while the staff also supports the teaching of various courses in other departments (such as those of
Architecture, Rural and Surveying Engineering, Mechanical
Engineering, Chemical Engineering, and others outside the
School of Engineering) at both graduate and postgraduate
level. Similarly, professors from other departments support the
teaching of certain courses of the studies programme.
Course duration and objectives. The Department offers
a one-cycle, five-year graduate programme which is designed
to cover most aspects of civil engineering. The objective of the
graduate programme is to equip students with the intellectual,
practical and creative skills necessary to apply core technical
knowledge across a range of applications and problems, and
to help them throughout their professional careers.
Course structure. The first three years of the course in-
volve the study of core subjects such as mathematics, mechanics, materials, hydraulics, structures, design etc. In the
fourth year students continue to study core subjects and in
addition choose a series of electives offered by the four divisions of the department. In the fifth year all subjects are elective, thus forming the specific scientific-technical profile of each
student. The programme concludes with an individual project
called Diploma Thesis.
Diploma versus MSc. The 5-year Graduate Studies Programme is approved by the Technical Chamber of Greece as
meeting all requirements for the Diploma holder to become
a Chartered Engineer. The Diploma is considered equivalent
to a combined Bachelor and general Masters Degree (MSc)
in Civil Engineering.
The graduate studies programme is decribed in more detail in a following chapter.

Postgraduate studies
Postgraduate Specialization Courses (MSc )
With the aim of advancing graduates’ knowledge in particular fields of the science covered by the Department of Civil
Engineering, there are also, since the academic year 19981999, two postgraduate specialization studies programmes
leading to the award of the MSc degree in:
- “Antiseismic Design of Structures” and
- “Environmental Protection and Sustainable Development”.
The Department of Civil Engineering also participates in
the following two inter-departmental programmes, to which
graduate civil engineers are also admitted:
• the inter-departmental postgraduate specialization studies programme run by the School of Engineering of
A.U.Th. on “Protection, maintainance and restoration
of cultural monuments”, in which all the departments
of the School of Engineering participate,
The Department Library
The Department of Civil Engineering has an entirely
independent library, housed on the first floor of the Civil
Engineering wing. The Library, in which educational
material concerning analysis, research and project
planning for civil engineers is available, provides a
service for both tutors and students.
The Department of Civil Engineering also boasts an
electronic library, which is accessible via the web page
of the department at the following address:
http://www.civil.auth.gr
24
•
the inter-departmental postgraduate specialization studies
programme, in co-operation with both the Department of
Rural and Surveying Engineering and the Hellenic Institute
of Transport, entitled “Planning, organisation and management of transport systems”.
Postgraduate Doctoral Studies (PhD)
The PhD degree is awarded by the Department after successful completion of a programme of supervised research
lasting at least three years. The degree is awarded by the Department, on behalf of the Aristotle University Thessaloniki, after the successful defence of a Thesis which is examined by a
committee of distinguished academic experts in the field.
Structure of doctoral studies: All students register first as
ad interim candidates for the PhD degree. During the first 12
months, at least 4 appropriate postgraduate modules must
be succesfully completed in order to expand their scientific
and research skills. During this time, the general progress of
the students is assessed. Particularly stressed is the importance of students developing a general understanding of how
research is carried out and also developing advanced skills
in communication, presentation, team working, open ended
problem solving and so on, which are regarded as important
for building a successful career, whether in research or in Industry. If the students can demonstrate a clear understanding of the research problem and a structured programme of
how they intend to tackle it, their status is upgraded to normal
PhD-candidate and their work continues.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DEPARTMENT
The Computer Centre
Within the Department of Civil Engineering, there
are two computer centres for educational purposes, the
first for the needs of graduate studies and the other for
postgraduate studies.
All students from the Department have access to the
computer centres. This area is also used for the delivery
of courses and educational seminars.
European Educational Programmes
Since the academic year 1989-1990, the Department
of Civil Engineering has actively participated to the educational programmes organised by the European Union,
contributing to increased student mobility within its member states.
Within the framework of such programmes (initially “ER-
ASMUS” and “TEMPUS” and more recently “SOCRATES”),
graduate students from the Department, after completing their
first year of studies, may follow certain courses or work on their
Diploma Thesis, for a period of between 3 and 12 months, in
one of the European Univesities which collaborates with the
Department.
Research Activity
Research work conducted by the Department is quite remarkable both in qualitative and quantitative terms. Numerous
research programmes are conducted, many in collaboration
with foreign educational institutions, bodies or other sources.
These programmes are either entirely funded or partly funded
by the Greek government, the European Union, foreign governments or by international or Greek institutions.
According to the records of the Research Committee of
the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, at the beginning of
the year 2000 the Department of Civil Engineering was found
to be the most active of all 42 departments within the university in terms of funded research. Since then, approximately
300 research programmes have been assigned by national
and international institutions to research groups working in
the Department, with a total budget far exceeding that of any
other department.
Open Door Policy
Since its inception, the Department of Civil Engineering
has gone beyond the narrow confines of the general academic community. The University as a whole, recognizing
its responsibility to society for addressing social issues, is
dedicated to maintaining a dynamic relationship with society and sharing its hopes and expectations. Consequently,
it has always paid great attention to showing its presence,
support and interest in issues that concern and preoccupy
the world of technology and in matters of a more general
nature and content.
To this end, the University has conducted a number of
events with a technical content, inviting many well-known
speakers, including Ministry officials, staff of various institutions
and committee representatives from the European Union.

DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING, ARISTOTLE UNIVERSITY OF THESSALONIKI
Students' Association
The Civil Engineering Students’ Association was founded on December 15, 1975 and belongs, as all student associations within A.U.Th. do, to the Students’ Association of the Aristotle
University of Thessaloniki. Students within the Department are represented for school matters
by student members in all the administrative bodies, who have the right to speak and vote. Any
student may become a member of the Association at any time during his/her studies, provided
that he/she is registered in the Department of Civil Engineering.
The basic objectives of the Association, as set out in its by-laws, are the defence of the
interests of the school students, as well as a continuous effort to improve the level and conditions of their studies.
The Association is administered by an 11-member board, elected for one year by the Union members in a secret ballot. The supreme body of the Association is the General Assembly
which legislates on every issue and exerts control over the other Association bodies. The Association publishes the magazine “Theses and Antitheses” (Opinions and Counter-opinions) and
the newspaper “Gefyra” (Bridge).
Postgraduate Student's Association
The Postgraduate Students’ Association of the Department
of Civil Engineering was founded in November 2000.
Its objectives are to maintain not only an active and responsible attitude towards all the issues in the field of civil engineering, but also those concerning the social progress and
the defence of humanistic values, such as peace, freedom,
justice and equality.
30
Furthermore, it attempts to fulfill the needs and satisfy the
interests of its members and to elevate their cultural, educational and athletic level. Another objective is to encourage
the students to exchange scientific and technical information with each other, to maintain ongoing contacts, and to
collaborate with socially active academic and professional
institutions and associations.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DEPARTMENT
The Graduate Studies Programme
Τ
he studies programme constitutes the framework within
which the educational process is achieved. It expresses
the orientation of the department and is the main tool
used to fulfill its aims. It determines the nature, sequence and
coherence of the knowledge to be conveyed to students during the five years of their studies, in order to facilitate their becoming new scientists. Finally, it is the core from which the
criteria to define the limits of the professional obligations and
rights of a civil engineer are derived.
The studies programme itself must reflect the needs of
society and, by following developments in science, should
provide students with the necessary skills and knowledge required in a comprehensible and well-structured way. For this
reason, the studies programme is regularly revised, despite
the great efforts required and the problems which may arise
in the day-to-day functioning of the department.
Experience in the Department of Civil Engineering within
the Aristotle University has shown that a significant revision
should be carried out approximately every eight to ten years.
This is because, on the one hand, the rate at which knowledge
is increasing is rapid and, on the other hand, there is a continuous change in this professional field.
The most recent significant revision of the studies programme within this Department took place in 1993. It took almost an entire academic year to complete the whole procedure
and a huge number of man-hours were spent on discussion
and elaboration within the University bodies.
The result of this whole procedure is the current studies
programme. The department has already initiated the procedures required to again revise the studies programme on the
basis of current scientific developments, also taking into account the experience of previous revisions.
31
DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING, ARISTOTLE UNIVERSITY OF THESSALONIKI
The Philosophy behind the graduate studies programme
The most recent extensive revision of the studies programme in 1993 aimed at the achievement of the following
aims:
• An increase and updating of the syllabus/curriculum in the
existing subjects/taught lessons/modules.
• The addition of new subjects
• More effective co-ordination and allocation of the material
covered within the subjects so as to avoid leaving gaps in
teaching and to avoid overlapping.
• A reasonable distribution/division of the syllabi/curricula over
the semesters in order to enable students to absorb them.
Characteristic features of the existing studies programme
are as follows:
• It makes a distinction between the studies programme
for core/compulsory courses and for optional courses by
reinforcing the effectiveness of each.
• It offers more than the basic knowledge which is essential
for a civil engineer during the first seven semesters, that is
before the students are required (at the beginning of the
eighth semester) to choose their specialization.
• It reinforces the importance of optional courses by encouraging students to allocate their study time equally between
compulsory and optional courses.
• It aims to an equal allocation of taught courses throughout
the duration of studies, as far as this is possible.
The core courses cover the first seven semesters of
the department of civil engineering and part of the eighth
semester. Specialization, which begins during the eighth
semester, continues throughout the ninth and tenth semesters with courses to be followed and is completed
in the tenth semesters with the submission of a Diploma
Thesis within the field of specialization each student has
chosen. It is however possible for a student to choose
and conduct an inter-divisional Diploma Thesis with the
cooperation of professors from different divisions within
the department.
The total number of courses which each student within
the department is obliged to follow is the 48 core courses
and 16 optional courses, totalling 64 (48+16). Certain optional courses are compulsory within the division which the
student has chosen.
The number of optional courses by division
The total number of optional courses offered by each division, from which the student must choose sixteen:

Division of Hydraulics and Environmental Engineering .............................. 29 courses
Division of Geotechnical Engineering . .......................................................... 19 courses
Division of Transport, Infrastucture, Management
and Regional Planning Engineering....................................... 22 courses
Total .................................................................................................................... 97 courses

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DEPARTMENT
The structure of the graduate studies programme
The distribution of courses by semester is indicative rather
than compulsory for students. It does, however, apply in the
case of regular studies and it is based on the minimum number
or semesters of studies required for the award of a degree.
CHOICE OF COURSES
Each semester students are obliged to choose courses
of their preference by submitting their declaration form to the
secretariat.
CHOICE OF DIVISION
Each student, having completed the first seven semesters
of his studies, should declare (at the beginning of the eighth
semester) in which division she/he wishes to specialize.
If, at any time, a student should for any reason change
her/his mind, she/he has the right to request the administrative council of the department to alter the original declaration
and to choose another division of preference. However, in such
cases, students are obliged to attend all the optional courses
within the new division chosen from the seventh semester onwards which are imposed by the studies programme.
TEACHING OF COURSES
Each semester consists of at least 13 full teaching weeks
and 3-4 examination weeks.
Classes take place on weekdays from Monday to Friday,
mainly during morning hours, in accordance with the timetable.
Presence is not obligatory. However, students are advised to
attend classes on a regular basis in order to have a first-hand
understanding and outlook on the course being taught, as at-
Practical training
P
ractical training is regarded as an educational tool which combines
the theoretical knowledge provided with practice and is an opportunity
for students to come into contact with what they will face in their future
profession. Students are offered practice for a duration of four weeks in
various aspects of the profession of civil engineering.
The practical training programme is incorporated into and funded
in full by the “Enterprise and Initial Professional Development Training
Programme”, funded by the EU.
The aim of this programme is to ensure that all students within the
Department have the opportunity to conduct career-related practice.
However, this practice is not conducted on a compulsory basis and
adresses practical matters. For this reason, students should have already
completed eight semesters of study. The number of students in the
programme each academic year totals 150.

tendance of courses and practical assignments contributes
directly to a more effective understanding and application of
the underlying theory.
If, for any reason, the number of hours actually taught on
a course in a semester is less than 80% of that anticipated by
the studies programme for this semester, then this course is
regarded as not having been taught.
EXAMINATION PROCEDURE
There are three examination periods:
• January-February
• June
• September
During the January examination period, students are only
entitled to be examined in courses from the Winter Semester,
while during the June examination period only in courses from
the Spring Semester.
During the September period, however, students may be
examined in courses from both semesters.
ASSESSMENT
Assessment for each course is determined by the professor, who is responsible for organising written or oral examinations based on his own judgement, and which may also be
based on practical laboratory-based assignments.
DIPLOMA THESIS
The Diploma Thesis is a scientific project carried out by
students during their final semester, thus completing their studies and leading to the award of the degree. It is aimed, on one
hand, at helping student to understand and apply the knowledge acquired through their studies and, on the other hand,
to deepen students’ knowledge of their specific field. At the
same time, the Diploma Thesis is the first extended technical
and scientific text that the future civil engineer is required to
write based on a scientific methodology.
In order to choose the title of the Diploma Thesis, the student should discuss with the supervising professor, who gives
the student a number of possible titles. If the student expresses interest in one of these titles, then this is formally assigned
by the professor.
The students carry out the Diploma Thesis under their own
initiative while, at the same time, being supervised by a committee consisting of three professors of the department.The
presentation and the assessment of the Diploma Thesis takes
34
place in public in a special, open event within the specific dates
of each examination period.
The Diploma Theses are assessed on the basis of the
completeness of their content, to what extent they cover the
requirements of the title and the guidelines of the supervising
professor, the aesthetic quality of the project and the success
of the oral presentation and in the examination. A pass grade
is awarded for Diploma Thesis given a grade of 5.5 or above,
and the total value is equal to that of twelve subjects.
The Degree Grade Awarded
The degree certifies the successful completion of the
student’s studies and has a grade made up of a three-digit
number. The final grade is calculated using the mathematical formula:
Degree grade = (Μ1+Μ2+...+Μν+12xDT) / (n+12)
where:n is the total number of courses/subjects taken,
M1, M2, …, Mn are the grades given in each subject,
DT is the grade awarded for the Diploma Thesis.
