Undergraduate Studies – Important Info

Α. The Study Guide of the Department is the students’ basic textbook throughout his/her studies. Describes in detail the obligations and rights of the student and analyzes the operation of the Department.

The careful study of the Study Guide as well as the observance of all the obligations deriving from it, is a basic obligation of every student.

The Study Guide is updated every academic year and posted on the Department’s website. Some of the most useful information for students is:

The list, the categorizationand the distribution in semesters of the offered courses of the academic year.
The course outline which briefly describes the scientific and didactic field of each course.
The conditions for obtaining a degree.

Β. The Curriculum which each student follows includes and describes the courses offered in it.

At the Department of Childhood Education, students follow a Curriculum depending on their academic year of enrollment. Therefore,

The students who registered in the Department from the academic year 2008-09 until the academic year 2013-14 follow the Curriculum which has the general title “Curriculum 2008-09”.

The students who enrolled in the Department from the academic year 2014-15 onwards follow the PS. which has the general title “Curriculum 2014-15″.

The students who enrolled in the Department from the academic year 2017-18 onwards follow the Curriculum which has the general title “Curriculum 2017-18″.

The students who enrolled in the Department from the academic year 2018-19 onwards follow the Curriculum which has the general title “Curriculum 2018-19″.

The students who enrolled in the Department from the academic year 2017-18 onwards follow the Curriculum which has the general title “Curriculum 2018-19″.

The students who enrolled in the Department from the academic year 2017-18 onwards follow the Curriculum which has the general title “Curriculum 2019-20“.

The students who enrolled in the Department from the academic year 2017-18 onwards follow the Curriculum which has the general title “Curriculum 2020-21“.

Students admitted before 2008 follow the curriculum of the year of admission.
Each curriculum has different degree requirements and different course categorization. However, these differences do not affect the course of each student who must study and follow the Study Guide that corresponds to his/her own Curriculum.

C. The Courses / Degree conditions
The courses in which a student must successfully be examined and obtain his / her degree are divided into four categories:

1. Compulsory

– for the “Curriculum 2008-09” the total of compulsory courses is 20

–  for the “Curriculum 2014-15” is 25 and

– for the “Curriculum 2017-18” and onward is 22

It is obvious that the student must be successfully examined in all compulsory courses to get his degree.

2. Compulsory Elective

The student must successfully pass at least 15 courses in this category.

These courses are divided into five scientific / teaching modules and the student must succeed in at least three courses from each module.
Compulsory elective courses offered are more than 30.

If a student succeeds in more than three courses in a module of elective compulsory courses, the extra courses are considered as elective only.

3. The Elective

– for the “Curriculum 2008-09” the total number of elective courses in which the student must succeed is 20 and

– for the “Curriculum 2014-15” the total number of elective courses in which the student must succeed is 15 while at the same time he must accumulate at least 240 ECTS credits.

– for the “Curriculum 2017-18” and onward the total number of elective courses in which the student must succeed is at least 18 while at the same time he must accumulate at least 240 ECTS credits.

There are more than 40 elective courses offered.

4. Foreign Language Courses.

The student must succeed in two specific courses in either English or French or German. These courses are registered on top of the number of other courses from the second year onwards.

During the academic year 2020-21, foreign language courses are offered by the members of E.E.P. of the Department of Primary Education Mr. A. Kostoula, A. Siouti and M. Ferring (Foreign Language Laboratory, Department of Primary Education, 2nd floor).

Bachelor’s thesis

Only students who successfully prepare a Diploma Thesis are exempted from the examination of two elective courses.
That is, they must succeed in 57 courses, including both foreign language courses, as well as in their dissertation.

– ECTS.

Students of the 2014-15 and 2017-18 Curriculum must accumulate at least 240 ECTS credits to receive their degree along with the other conditions for obtaining a degree.

Students of the 2018-19 and onward Curriculum must accumulate at least 240 ECTS credits to receive their degree along with the other conditions for obtaining a degree.

Highlights

– In order to improve the degree’s grade, the additional elective or elective courses are excluded from the calculation (of the degree). There is no question of replacing courses – just not calculating the grade of two of them.

– Only the registrations of the current year are valid. Old course registrations (before the current academic year) are not valid *. Courses included in these (the old ones) can not be examined, can not and do not need to be deleted from the registration because they do not affect in any way the academic course of the student.
* However, senior students have the right to be examined in winter courses in June and in spring courses in February only if the courses have already been registered.

– Students have the right to be examined only in courses that they registered during the current academic year. 4th year students must definitely include the compulsory courses that have been failed from previous years.

The basic obligation of every student is the Course Registration which is done electronically at the beginning of each semester and has a place of registration in each semester. The student has the right to be examined and graded only in the courses he / she has registered during the current semester. He/she can not be examined in courses that have been registered in an earlier semester and did not register in the current semester.
