The curriculum courses are either obligatory or electives. The electives are norammly taken during the last year of study. Each student chooses courses from other departments with the help and concurrent opinion of his academic advisor. Course lectures are in Greek and the students must take a final exam for each course. At the theoretical level, Chemistry is taught with lectures that are supported by seminars and problem-solving sessions.
Chemistry is however by nature an experimental science.
For this reason, the curriculum of the department places strong emphasis on laboratory courses, which are regarded as independent courses, and not as complementary to theoretical courses. Such a significant increase in the number of laboratory courses can be achieved as soon as the Department is transferred to its buildings on the new University Campus, where the available laboratory space will be significantly larger. In order to serve this objective, courses such as Biochemistry, Food Chemistry and Chemical Technology have been added as obligatory courses in the last two years of studies. The Diploma thesis has a special position in the Undergraduate Curriculum. During the fourth year of studies, each student works for two semesters under the supervision of a member of the teaching stuff, studying one of the many individual projects proposed.
