COURSES FOR ERASMUS - CIVIS STUDENTS


Most courses in the Departments of the NKUA are taught in Greek (B2 level needed)

This is also the case for the Department of Biology where all undergraduate courses and most of the post-graduate ones are taught in Greek. Nevertheless, for most undergraduate courses offered (mostly those referred as elective courses from the 3rd or 4th year - semesters 5-8), incoming Erasmus students can be given a syllabus in English and be examined in English. In some cases, the special arrangements made for the Erasmus+/CIVIS students who have only English language knowledge, may include assignment of essays in English, with the use of English bibliography. However, the teaching staff who is responsible for each intended course should be contacted for further information. 

For more information on courses available to Greek-non-speaking students, Erasmus incoming students should contact the Departmental Erasmus Program responsibles and CIVIS/Erasmus evaluation Erasmus committee members: Ass. Profs. Charalambos Alexopoulos (halexo[at]biol.uoa[dot]gr, +30 210 727 4548), Ioanna-Katerina Aggeli (ikaggeli[at]biol.uoa[dot]gr, +30 210 727 4948) or Erminta Tsouko (etsouko[at]biol.uoa[dot]gr, +30210 7274636).

For courses available please see: http://en.biol.uoa.gr/erasmus/erasmus-civis-courses.html

The coordinators of the aforementioned list of courses provide teaching support in English for all incoming students and have ensured that an adequate number of copies of academic (in English) textbooks relating to the courses' material, are available in the University's library. The study material for the exams of these courses originates from the textbooks available to the students through the library.
