The School of Humanities, Social Sciences and Economics of the University Center of International Programmes of Studies of the International Hellenic University invites interested parties to apply for the Postgraduate Programme of Studies "MSc in Bioeconomy: Biotechnology and Law" for the academic year 2025-2026. All courses are taught exclusively in English, whereas the courses in the Postgraduate Programme "MSc in Bioeconomy: Biotechnology and Law" will be conducted through flexible learning methods combining the traditional face-to-face education with distant learning.

The MSc in Bioeconomy: Biotechnology and Law is designed to provide knowledge and develop skills for those occupied in public or private services dealing with the consultation, management, studies of Biotechnological products and processes and willing to be involved in Bioeconomy. The programme is interdisciplinary and it has primarily a practical purpose. It provides legal and management expertise, directly usable in all groups of scholars, those with legal education, business and economical background and those trained in relevant scientific and technological disciplines. The programme is directed to students and executives who desire to expand their specialization in the relevant fields.

The post graduate studies for this MSc programme lead to the acquisition of a Master’s Degree. The duration of the studies depends on the kind of stream being chosen by the students. This stream is determined by the nature of the undertaken dissertation (experimental or non-experimental dissertation). For students who will choose a non-experimental dissertation, the full-time attendance of taught courses for two academic semesters and the preparation of a master’s dissertation for one more semester are required. For those who will choose an experimental research-based dissertation, the programme’s curriculum requires the full-time attendance of taught courses for two academic semesters plus two academic semesters for the preparation of the master’s dissertation. For students who wish to attend the programme on a part-time basis, the programme gives this possibility upon their request. In this case, the duration of the MSc is doubled.

Interested parties are invited to submit their application by July 31st, 2025 (non-Greek applicants) / September 1st, 2025 (Greek applicants) or until places are filled, by following instructions at the link https://www.ihu.gr/ucips/shsse/applications.
