The curriculum of all the specialization of the MSc Programme “Informatics and Computational Biomedicine” includes elective courses and the preparation of an MSc Programme., and is divided into three (3) academic semesters. The first two academic semesters involve the successful attendance and examination of eight (8) courses, four in each semester (winter\/spring), which correspond to sixty (60) ECTS. The third academic semester is available for the preparation, writing and presentation of the M.D. thesis or for the attendance and successful examination of four (4) additional courses (in addition to the eight (8)), which the Master’s student chooses from the offered courses belonging to the tables of the two other specialization of the M.D. thesis, corresponding to thirty (30) ECTS. <\/p>

Courses can be taught in both Greek and English. The semester courses of the curriculum of each specialization that can be offered in the timetable are determined by the Programme Committee <\/a>on the recommendation of Coordianting Committee <\/a>based on needs and available resources. Changes to the course schedule and redistribution between semesters may be made following a documented recommendation by the Coordinating Committee<\/a> and a decision by the Programme Committee<\/a>. The detailed content of the courses is described in the Study Guide<\/a>. The course material may be modified following a recommendation by the teaching staff and approval by the Programme Committee<\/a>. Regular meetings are foreseen between the participants in the teaching of courses of related subjects with the aim of harmonising the content of each course. The minimum weekly teaching hours per course are three (3). Substitution of courses is the responsibility of the instructor after consultation with the course coordinator and approval by the Director of the MSc Programme . The lectures of the courses in Tables 1 and 3 and their laboratory parts are held at the Department of Informatics with Applications in Biomedicine, while the lectures of the courses in Table 2 are held at the Department of Informatics and Telecommunications. In addition, it is possible to conduct a small part of the courses in another department of the University of Thessaly or another University Institution, which has specialized laboratory infrastructure, provided that there is an agreement with this department. Teaching in all three specializations of the MSc Prgoramme is mainly face-to-face, however, lectures may be attended by electronic procedures of synchronous and asynchronous learning, when technically feasible, using a relevant platform of the University of Thessaly. If deemed necessary by the Programme Committee<\/a>, certain courses of the Postgraduate Studies Program may be taught using distance learning methods, provided that these do not exceed 35% of the total number of courses. It is possible to conduct part of the lectures of the courses that are held in person via teleconference, if there are special reasons, following a documented recommendation by the Coordinator <\/a>and a decision by the Programme Committee<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
