During the summer term, students are expected to undertake a postgraduate dissertation. The candidate submits an application stating the proposed title of the dissertation and the proposed supervisor, and attaches a summary of the proposed work.

For the thesis to be approved, the student must defend it before the three- member examination committee, which then draws up and signs the minutes of the thesis presentation. At least two members of the three-member examination committee must be present during the defence of the thesis. The presentation of the thesis takes place via teleconference.

The language of the postgraduate thesis may be Greek and/or English.

The Assembly approves a Guide to the Preparation of the Master’s Thesis, which is communicated to postgraduate students and includes instructions for writing the thesis, e.g. cover page, logo, font, minimum and maximum word count, etc.

Once approved by the examination committee, postgraduate dissertations must be uploaded by the student themselves to the University’s DIONIS Repository of the University of Piraeus Library(in accordance with the university’s internal regulations).
