General Provisions

The Postgraduate Program entitled: "Clinical Applications of Molecular Medicine" of the Department of Medicine of the University of Thessaly, operates in accordance with the provisions of Law 4957/2022, as they have been formulated and are in force. 

The Postgraduate Diploma Program awards a Postgraduate Diploma (P.D.S.) with the title: «"Clinical Applications of Molecular Medicine", (MSc Clinical Applications in Molecular Medicine).

Object – Purpose

The objective of the Master of Science (MSc) is the scientific and technological training of scientists regarding the applications of Molecular Medicine in the research, diagnosis, prevention and treatment of human diseases.

The purpose of the PMS is:

a) The preparation of scientists to serve the needs of specific fields of translational biomedical research, so that they are able to continue their scientific careers in similar university laboratories and research institutions. In this context, emphasis is placed on the creation of a group of doctoral candidates of the Department of Medicine of the University of Thessaly (DUT).

b) The training of scientists in the clinical applications of cutting-edge technologies, so that they are capable of staffing Health Units with similar requirements.

Selection Conditions

Graduates of the Faculties of Health Sciences of Universities and Departments of Biology or related University Faculties and Departments of Sciences in Greece or recognized equivalent Universities abroad by the Interdisciplinary Organization for the Recognition of Academic Titles and Information (DOATAP) are admitted to the Postgraduate Program.

Graduates of related schools of Technological Educational Institutions (TEI), as well as other University Schools, are also accepted, after successfully passing a test in the material of related undergraduate courses.

Study Program

To be awarded the BMI, a concentration of 60 ECTS is required.

The program structure and the corresponding credit units (ECTS) are:

2. Copy of diploma (legally certified) or confirmation that the candidate has completed his educational obligations. In the case of foreign university graduates, a certificate of recognition from DOATAP must be submitted,
3. Certificate of Analytical Score,
4. Copy of thesis (where provided),
5. A detailed curriculum vitae with a recent photograph of the candidate which will definitely include information on the candidate's studies, research and/or professional activity, possible scientific works and his/her Diploma thesis if provided for by his/her Basic Study Program,
6. Photocopy of two sides of a police ID,
7. Three letters of recommendation,
8. Evidence of foreign languages (at least English),
9. Evidence of professional or research activity (if any),
10. ID-type photo

Graduates of University Departments of Schools of Health Sciences or related to Life Sciences Departments of Schools of Positive Sciences, of the country and of recognized institutions abroad are admitted to the PMS.

Graduates of other HEI Schools may also participate in the selection process if they are successfully examined in two courses of the undergraduate study program of the Department of Medicine from the following five: "Biochemistry of Enzymes and Human Metabolism" (2nd semester)", "Physiology", "Pharmacology", "Microbiology", "Immunology".

 The exam material of the courses is posted on the PMS website. 

The exams will take place immediately after the application deadline.

Necessary actions of candidates before selection: 

• Interested candidates, before submitting the Application, must contact the participating Laboratories, as they are mentioned in the Study Regulations posted on the PMS Website, in order to declare their interest and to be informed about the Educational Programs and research diploma theses offered by each Laboratory.
• Subsequently and at the same time as the Application, interested candidates should declare in writing up to two Workshops (in order of preference) in the Educational Programs they wish to join. Also, those of the candidates who are required to take exams should declare in writing the two courses in which they wish to be examined.
• It is pointed out that attending the Workshop Programs requires mandatory, daily physical presence.
• There are no tuition fees.

Selection process 

The Selection Committee will invite to an interview – oral examination those of the candidates who meet the requirements (and have passed the above examinations, if required). The interviews will be held at the Department's headquarters. The Selection Committee will take into account the general degree grade, the score in the relevant P.M.S. undergraduate courses, performance in the thesis (where provided), any research or professional activity, three letters of recommendation and knowledge of foreign languages. Excellent knowledge of English and Greek is deemed necessary for foreigners. Knowledge of English is demonstrated by holding a Cambridge University Proficiency Diploma (or equivalent). When there is insufficient evidence of excellent knowledge of the English or Greek language, the verification of the adequacy of the knowledge will be done by the Selection Committee during the oral examination. 

For more information, candidates can contact with the Secretariat of the Postgraduate Program, Ms. Noutsou Vasiliki, either by phone (2410685719) or electronically (vanouts@uth.gr).
