The duration of courses leading, after the acquisition of 300 credit units/ECTS to a Diploma, constituting an Integrated Master’s degree, is five years. The valuable work of NTUA and its international reputation are due to its well-organised educational and research system, the quality of its staff and students, and the adequacy of its technical infrastructure.
