Students complete their study for obtaining a DGS upon having completed the minimum number of courses and ECTS credit units required, as well as having completed successfully their graduate diploma dissertations. The CPS verifies the completion of study in order to grant the DGS to a student.
At the completion of the procedure described above, students are issued with a certificate of completion of study, their student status is annulled and their participation in collective administrative bodies of the University ceases.
The DGS certifies the successful completion of study and carries a mark, to two decimal places, on the following scale: Excellent (8.5 to 10), Very Good (6.5 to 8.5 inclusive) and Good (5 to 6.5 inclusive).
The type of DGS per kind of PGS is common to all Departments and Schools of NKUA and is included in the Institution's Graduate and Doctoral Studies Regulations.
The IPGS awards Diplomas of Graduate Study in the “Theoretical and Applied Geopolitical Analysis in International Relations and Strategy” specialization.
