Four (4) of the total number of seminar courses must come from the list of courses of the specialization in which the student is enrolled, or from courses of the same specialization in a similar recognized foreign institution within the framework of the educational programs of the European Union. The remaining two (2) seminars may be chosen from the other specializations of the MSc, the other MSc courses of the Department or of another university department or recognized Research Centre.
In the subject of Byzantine Archaeology there is the possibility, instead of a seminar, to carry out a practical training in the field, in a museum or in a Research Centre, in order to acquire the required practical experience, under the supervision/cooperation of the supervising faculty member. This training can take place in a university excavation, in consultation with the supervising faculty member, or in institutions of the Archaeological Service or in institutions supervised by the Archaeological Service.
In the two specializations of the Program, there is the possibility that one of the seminars may be in the form of a "free seminar paper" on a specialized topic which is not offered in the program of the Department's seminars, but which concerns the student's specific research interests and is deemed necessary for his/her training.
The organization of the courses is described in detail in the Regulations of the MSc.
