OPEN CALL – APPLICATIONS FOR PhD PROGRAMS

Applications for our Doctoral Programs in the Department of Biology are launched throughout the academic year, which are then assessed in the Department’s General Assembly.  Candidate applicants holding a Master’s Degree from either a Greek or a foreign university, the latter being accredited by the Hellenic National Academic Recognition Information Centre [NARIC/ΔΟΑΤΑΠ], are eligible to join under the condition that their field of study is strictly related and up to standard as determined by the Department’s Admissions Team.
