At the beginning of each academic period, each newly admitted postgraduate student is assigned an Academic Advisor (AAd). The distribution of postgraduate students to the AAds is done alphabetically and by specialization. The institution of Academic Advisors includes all permanent lecturers of the Department, members of Teaching and Research Staff, EEP and EDIP and supervise postgraduate students of the specialization in which they teach. Postgraduate students are informed via email personally by their Academic Advisor about theway and hours of communication with them.
The Academic Advisor chooses how to approach and assist the postgraduate students assigned to him/her. It is recommended that Academic Advisors establish a separate Electronic Class for the most direct, complete, synchronous and asynchronous communication with the postgraduate students they supervise. Academic Advisors help postgraduate students to complete their studies on time in the most rational and efficient way and contribute to solving problems that may arise during their studies. The DPs inform postgraduate students about the structure and operation of the Postgraduate Programme "Greek and World Theatre: Drama- Performance-Education" and the specialization they attend, as well as about the elective courses of the specialization they attend, in order to choose those that suit their interests, capabilities and skills.
The AAd has an advisory role regarding the academic course of the postgraduate student, is available to hold extraordinary meetings with them, to provide counseling assistance and redirection to specialists, in cases of dealing with personal issues.
The content of the discussions is confidential, and the personal data of the postgraduate student are protected by the Academic Advisor.
In case of absence of a lecturer for a long period of time (e.g., due to educational leave, suspension of duties, health problem, etc.), the Secretariat of the Postgraduate Programme assigns to the postgraduate students of the absent AAd a new Academic Advisor.
In exceptional cases, postgraduate students may request the change of their AAd, explaining in writing the reasons to the Director of the MSc. The possibility of satisfying the request is examined on a case-by-case basis.
In case a postgraduate student feels that he/she does not have an adequate response from his/her AAd, he/she addresses directly to the Director of the Postgraduate Programme.
