The studies for the award of the Master's Degree of the MSc "Greek and World Theatre: Dramaturgy, Performance, Education" are defined in two (2) academic years, i.e. four (4) semesters for the full-time program, of which three are teaching semesters with the attendance of common and specialization courses, workshops and seminars and any other kind of educational and research activities of the MSc and the fourth is allocated for the preparation of the Master's Thesis.

Thus, the maximum time allowed for the completion of studies is set at six (6) academic semesters.

Suspension of studies
Students who have not exceeded the maximum period of attendance, after a reasoned request for suspension, may be suspended.
Students who have not exceeded the maximum number of semesters of study, may, upon reasoned request to the Assembly of the Department, suspend their studies for a period not exceeding two (2) consecutive semesters. Suspension of studies is granted for serious reasons (military service, illness, maternity, absence abroad, etc.). The application must be reasoned and accompanied by all the relevant supporting documents from the competent public authorities or bodies proving the reasons for the suspension of studies. Student status is suspended during the period of suspension and participation in any educational process is not permitted. The semesters of student suspension do not count towards the maximum period of regular study. At least two weeks before the end of the suspension period, the student must re-enrol in the programme in order to continue his/her studies with the rights and obligations of an active student. Students may, upon request, terminate their suspension and return to the program only if they have applied for a suspension for two consecutive academic semesters. The request to discontinue the suspension must be submitted no later than two weeks before the beginning of the second semester of the suspension. The duration of the suspension or extension of the period of attendance is discussed and approved on a case-by-case basis by the AC, which recommends it to the Departmental Assembly.
