PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION

 

As designated by national legislation (Law 4957/2022, article 82), the MSc program is hierarchically administered by

  • the Senate of the University of West Attica,
  • the Assembly of the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering,
  • the MSc Program Coordinating Committee, and
  • the MSc Program Director.

Responsibilities are detailed below.

MSc Program Coordinating Committee

 

The MSc Program Coordinating Committee (CC) is comprised of the MSc Program Director and 4 more academic staff members of the Department whose areas of specialization are relevant to the MSc program subject and who are involved in the program as module instructors or MSc thesis supervisors. All 5 CC members are appointed by the Assembly of the Department. Professors Emeriti may be appointed as CC members, on the condition that they undertake instruction or supervision in the program.

MSc Program Director

 

One of the CC members is appointed by the Assembly of the Department as the MSc Program Director, for a 2-year term of office. The Director is chosen preferably among Professors or Associate Professors. Terms of office may be renewed for any number of times.

The Director and other CC members are not entitled to renumeration or reimbursement of any type against their administrative responsibilities and office duties.

 

MSc Program Administrative and Secretarial Support

 

The MSc program administrative and secretarial support is handled by the Secretariat of the Department. Duties include the support for the issue of annual calls for applications and candidate selection processes, the financial administration and record keeping, the secretarial support of the CC members and Director, the keeping and updating of the Student Registry, the inauguration of graduates, the issue of MSc degree titles, Diploma Supplements and all relevant certificates, as well as the preparation of graduation ceremonies.

 

Student Representation

 

MRES considers the participation of student representatives in the administration of the program as a key component for the smooth running of the program and the assurance of student satisfaction. Despite the fact that there is no such provision in recent national legislation (Law 4957/2022), MRES takes the initiative to include two (2) student representatives per year as adjoint members of the CC. They are elected by the enrolled students and are enrolled students themselves, active and not under suspension of student status. Their role is to attend CC proceedings and relay student requests, problems, proposals and in general any issue raised by the students to be discussed in the CC.
