Admission · Written English examination

Applicants without evidence of English proficiency

Applicants whose English proficiency is not evidenced by the certificate required in the call take a written examination, graded on a scale from 0 to 10, under Article 5 of the MSc Regulation (Greek).

Professor Kyriaki Kitikidou is responsible for organising, conducting and grading the examination from the 2026–2027 admissions procedure onwards, under the Department Assembly decision of 25 September 2026 (meeting 4; notification ΔΠΘ/ΤΔΠΦΠ/6248/216 of 29 September 2026).

The date, time and participation instructions will be communicated in good time to the applicants who need to take the examination. Contact: kkitikid@fmenr.duth.gr.

The online practice sample is optional preparation. Its score is not an admission score or a language certificate; its ten questions and suggested twenty minutes do not determine the format or duration of the official examination.

Winter: approved · Spring: provisional

Plan your study week

Online classes on Mondays and Tuesdays from 14:55. Only the winter semester timetable has been approved. The spring semester remains provisional and has not yet been approved.

Spring dates and times may change. Check each course’s eClass space for course announcements. A listed examination date does not, by itself, require physical attendance.
