Indicative Program of Studies (for students first enrolled from 2013-14 until 2016-17)

It includes the distribution of courses in eight semesters of study, the required hours of teaching per week for each course and the corresponding credit units. It indicates the logical course of study. The course IDs of obligatory and elective courses end with the letter ‘Y’ or ‘E’, respectively. The Indicative Program includes certain elective courses that are not currently taught by members of the faculty staff of the Democritus University of Thrace. Gray rows in tables correspond to such elective courses.
