Awarding the Diploma of Postgraduate Studies of the Postgraduate Study Program entitled “Medical Engineering and Informatics” (M.E.I.) of the School of Medicine, according to the Government Gazette 5189/tB/06. 10.2022, requires the attendance and successful examination in postgraduate courses of the Postgraduate Program as well as the completion of the Thesis. The total workload corresponds to 75 ECTS. In particular, the program includes: a) during the first (A’) semester of studies, the completion of compulsory courses corresponding to a total of thirty (30) ECTS, b) during the second (B’) semester of studies, the completion of compulsory courses and the design of the Thesis, corresponding to a total of thirty (30) ECTS and, c) the completion of the Thesis at the end of the summer period, which corresponds to fifteen (15) ECTS.

English is the official language of the Postgraduate Study Program.

The program aims to provide high quality graduate education in Medical Engineering and Informatics, a modern field of medicine, which resulted from the development of information and new engineering technologies and their application in medicine. The aim is to promote interdisciplinary approaches and specialize graduates in areas of technological applications in medicine and enable them to contribute to health care through research, development and service delivery. The educational content of the program is based on theoretical, laboratory and practical education as well as training through knowledge and skills transfer relating both to general research methodology in medical informatics and engineering as well as specialization in applied medical technology.

The graduates of the Postgraduate Study Program are capable of handling programming environments for the development of algorithms, databases and applications, applying data management methods and biomedical signal/image processing methods, development of predictive models using machine and deep learning techniques, handling bibliography and electronic educational environments.

Upon completion, in addition to the basic knowledge of their discipline and profession they are also able to: 1) apply knowledge in practice, 2) search, process, analyze and synthesize data and information using the necessary technologies, 3) work independently or in groups and/or interdisciplinary contexts, 4) adapt to novel situations and make decisions, 5) understand/communicate in a second foreign language, 6) generate new research ideas and scientific knowledge, 7) demonstrate responsibility, 8) view themselves as well as others critically, 9) promote free, productive and deductive thinking and 10) develop the ability to present scientific knowledge to specialized and/or non-specialized audiences.

Βασικά Μαθησιακά Αποτελέσματα

Τα μαθησιακά αποτελέσματα και τα προσόντα όσων παρακολουθήσουν επιτυχώς το Π.Μ.Σ. είναι τα εξής: οι επιστήμονες αυτοί αναμένεται ότι θα συνδυάσουν καλύτερα τις προηγούμενες εμπειρίες τους με γνώση τεχνολογίας στην εφαρμοσμένη ιατρική πράξη, αναβαθμίζοντας έτσι ποιοτικά το επίπεδο των παρεχόμενων υπηρεσιών υγείας. Το πλεονέκτημα του Π.Μ.Σ. εντοπίζεται στην ενσωμάτωσή του στο Τμήμα Ιατρικής επιτρέποντας συνέργεια με τις κλινικές και τα εργαστήρια για την εκπόνηση διπλωματικής εργασίας με εφαρμοσμένη ειδίκευση.

Οι μεταπτυχιακές σπουδές αποσκοπούν στην προαγωγή της γνώσης, την ανάπτυξη της έρευνας και των τεχνών, καθώς και την ικανοποίηση των εκπαιδευτικών, ερευνητικών, κοινωνικών, πολιτιστικών και αναπτυξιακών αναγκών της χώρας, στην κατάρτιση επιστημόνων υψηλού επιπέδου ικανών να συμβάλουν σε θεωρητικές και εφαρμοσμένες περιοχές συγκεκριμένων γνωστικών κλάδων, ειδικές θεματικές ενότητες ή επιμέρους κλάδους των γνωστικών αντικειμένων του πρώτου κύκλου σπουδών των οικείων Τμημάτων, καθώς και στην παραγωγή και μετάδοση γνώσεων, τεχνογνωσίας, μεθοδολογιών, εργαλείων και ερευνητικών αποτελεσμάτων στον επιστημονικό χώρο που δραστηριοποιείται το κάθε Τμήμα.
