Objective – Description

The PSP aims to produce graduates with specialized, interdisciplinary knowledge in the following areas:

  • Interior Environments
  • The Rational Use of Energy
  • Energy Conservation
  • Health and Well-being of Occupants

Students will receive training in both theoretical and applied approaches to sustainable interior design. They will learn strategies to:

  • Reduce the consumption of energy, materials, and resources
  • Mitigate health risks posed by buildings
  • Improve user productivity

The program also focuses on techniques for recording data related to interior environments, including methods for analyzing, evaluating, presenting field data, and selecting viable techniques.

Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of the PSP, students will be able to:

  • Know the Wider Fields: Indoor environmental quality, ventilation, thermal comfort, the building envelope, indoor air quality, lighting, and acoustics.
  • Develop High-Level Skills: In the fields of Indoor Environmental Quality, ventilation, thermal comfort, the building envelope, indoor air quality, lighting, and acoustics, with a focus on the analysis, recording, and selection of appropriate actions to improve the health and well-being of building users.
  • Propose, Plan, Depict, and Document: Actions and systems for ventilation, thermal comfort, the building envelope, indoor air quality, lighting, and acoustics by implementing modern techniques and technologies.
  • Contribute Meaningfully: To the improvement of interior built environments.
  • Develop Skills in Sustainable Interior Design: For both newly built and existing constructions, balancing strategic preferences that promote rational energy use, energy conservation, effective ventilation, heating, cooling, and lighting systems, as well as the health and well-being of occupants.

Admission requirements

The Postgraduate program accepts graduates or holders of higher education diplomas from related disciplines. The program is offered in Greek.

Knowledge of a foreign language and good computer and internet skills would be beneficial for successful participation in the program.

Note:

Holders of a degree or diploma of higher education include graduates of Greek universities, polytechnics, the Higher School of Fine Arts, the Higher School of Pedagogical and Technological Education, Higher Technological Educational Institutions (ATEI), or those with academically equivalent first-cycle degrees from recognized foreign educational institutions. This is in accordance with article 304 of Law No. 4957/2022 (Government Gazette 141/21.07.2022, vol.).

Marking:

For evaluating applications to the Postgraduate Studies Program, it will be assessed whether the candidate’s institution is included in the National Register of Recognized Higher Education Institutions of Foreign Countries and whether the candidate’s degree is included in the National Register of Types of Degrees of Recognized Institutions of Foreign Countries.

If the degree is listed in article 307 of Law No. 4957/2022, the will request a “Certificate of Place of Study” issued and sent by the foreign university. If the place of study or part of the studies was in Greek territory, the degree will not be recognized unless the part of the studies conducted in Greek territory was in a public higher education institution or a recognized foreign educational institution as per paragraph b) of article 299 of Law No. 4957/2022.
