The total number of Credit Units (ECTS) required to complete the M.Sc.degree is 90. Each course corresponds to 6 Credits and the Master Thesis corresponding to 24 Credits. The courses offered are divided into compulsory core courses and elective courses. Each student is required to attend five (5) core courses during the first semester and four (4) during the second semester. In addition, each student is required to select and attend, in each track of study, two (2) additional elective courses in the third semester. The electives are not all offered every year and are taught on a rotation basis.
To obtain the MSc degree, postgraduate students should pass successfully all compulsory courses of the corresponding track of study, two additional elective courses, and also complete successfully an MSc thesis. The thesis starts in the the 2nd semester (6 ECTS) and is completed in the third semester (18 ECTS).
Any changes of compulsory and elective courses and their number of ECTS are decided by the Special Committee in accordance with current legislation, and the rules of the graduate program. Students attendance to the courses is mandatory.

Students lacking relevant background knowledge may be required, in addition to the regular courses, to be successfully examined in some of the following undergraduate courses, offered by the Department of Informatics and Telecommunications of the University of Athens:

1. Data Structures
2. Digital Signal Processing
3. A programming language course (in C or C++).
