The MSc Programme Informatics and Computational Biomedicine covers the subjects of Informatics, Computer Science, and Biomedicine. The aim of this MSc Programme is to provide students with scientific training and specialization in the above subjects and to develop related research activities and applications.

The objectives of this MSc Programme are:
i. To promote scientific research and the specialization of graduate scientists in the fields of:
a) Computational Medicine and Biology,
b) Computer Science with applications in Security, Big Data management and Simulation, and
c) Informatics and Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in Education.
The program aims to train graduates in the following areas:

ii. Attracting graduates of the two collaborating Departments, who either seek education through the second cycle of studies, or wish to continue for doctoral studies.

iii. Attracting graduates from other Departments or Institutions with a related field of study and with potential for further research activity.

iv. To strengthen the presence of the School of Sciences and increase its student population, in order to further enhance its position and competitiveness in the academic environment.

v. To provide high quality postgraduate education, both to the local community, nationally and internationally, so that graduates have the ability to contribute in the short and medium term to the economic and technological development of Greece.

The Interdepartmental Postgraduate Programme aims at the specialisation of graduates in the fields of:

  • Computational Medicine, Computational Biology and their Applications,
  • Computer and Telecommunications Systems Security, Big Data Management and Simulation,
  • Informatics and Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in Education.

The duration of the MSc Programme “Informatics and Computational Biomedicine” leading to the award of the Diploma of Postgraduate Studies is three (3) academic semesters.The total number of credits (ECTS) required for the award of the Diploma of Postgraduate Studies is ninety (90) ECTS.
