The M.Sc. in "Digital Culture, Smart Cities, IoT and Advanced Digital Technologies" has as subject the coordinated development and organization of the research tracks of the science of new Technologies, especially those that are relate to high priority areas for our country, such as Digital Culture, Smart Cities, Internet of Things (IoT), and Modern Communications and Digital Technologies.

The M.Sc. awards a post-graduate diploma with title “Digital Culture, Smart Cities, IoT and Advanced Digital Technologies") with the following three (3) specializations: "Digital Culture", "Smart Cities and Advanced Digital Technologies" Technologies, "Internet of Things (IoT) and Advanced Digital Technologies". The M.Sc. is addressed to graduates from different scientific fields.

Specialization / Track “Digital Culture”:

The Specialization / Track “Digital Culture” aims at the education and training of scientists of various specialties from theoretical, positive and technological fields of knowledge for the making, protection, promotion and management of the cultural stock with the contribution of advanced digital technologies. It equips students with the appropriate knowledge of the latest global trends in the emerging interdisciplinary field of digital culture and ensures the design and formulation of a new digital strategy in culture. It promotes the preservation and enhancement of the cultural heritage in our country by highlighting new ways of effectively managing cultural organizations in the wider context of social and educational policy. It incorporates modern cognitive fields including 3D modeling, the implementation of Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, Virtual Worlds, mobile communications, Internet and social media technologies, signal processing and multimedia, with final aiming at optimal digital management, recording and editing of the cultural heritage and the aspects of modern culture. As our country has a rich cultural reserve on a continent (Europe) that is also the cultural superpower, enhancing interdisciplinarity will help reinforce the Creative Industry, protect our cultural heritage and stimulate modern creation

Specialization / Track “Smart Cities and Advanced Digital Technologies”:

The Specialization / Track “Smart Cities and Advanced Digital Technologies” aims to educate and train scientists from different fields so they can work in the new digital urban landscape as well as design and support new services in the ever-changing "Smart Cities" linked to the modern ecosystem, infrastructure, functions and services, like smart transportation, communication, smart homes, e-Government, smart grids, smart cultural heritage, smart health, smart agriculture, intelligent digital infrastructure, intelligent energy management. It also aims to provide expertise to manage complex urban issues, to provide the necessary resources for developing innovative systems of governance for a safe and sustainable city, for designing and supporting operational and effective resource-saving methods, and intelligent management of disasters.

Specialization / Track “Internet of Things (IoT) and Advanced Digital Technologies”:

The Specialization / Track “Internet of Things (IoT) and Advanced Digital Technologies” aims to educate and train scientists from different fields, but mainly from the fields of science and technology, to provide the appropriate knowledge to design, manage and support new services on the IoT platforms, to manage complex projects, to provide the necessary resources for the design and development of appropriate and innovative systems and services, the analysis of large data, the provision of expertise in the design of interdependent IT systems linked to the functions of digital city, smart homes, transportation, construction, energy, smart grids, intelligent health, smart farming, intelligent security, services, communications, smart digital infrastructure, education, smart security, governance systems development, data security, privacy protection - integrity of personal data, attacking internet intrusions, protecting devices from attacks, interoperability of systems and devices.

Graduates of the Postgraduate Program can work in public administration, municipalities, regions, technology and research centers, a number of stakeholders in Culture and Tourism, R & D departments in small and medium-sized enterprises, and large companies, companies involved with innovation in Culture and Tourism and the implementation of technological solutions. The knowledge they will gain will enable them to engage in professional advice and entrepreneurship on smart cities, digital culture, modern digital services, telecommunication and networks, including businesses, energy and telecommunications network operators, regulators, private and public operators. Graduates also have the opportunity to pursue their careers in existing organizations, to acquire the necessary skills and knowledge necessary for areas such as Public Administration and Ministries, Municipalities, Regions, Technological and Research Centers, and to continue their studies at a Ph.D. Level as well as start their own innovative businesses.

The duration of studies for the award of the Postgraduate Diploma is set at three (3) semesters. For the award of the post-graduate diploma it is necessary to attend courses of two academic semesters and to prepare a postgraduate dissertation. During the first two semesters and in all directions the successful completion of the five compulsory courses of the selected specialization is required. Each course is taught in ten 3-hour lectures and has 6 credits - ECTS. It is mandatory to attend at least seven of these lectures. With the successful monitoring and completion of the M.Sc., a post-graduate degree is awarded of 90 credits (ECTS). The third semester is available for the postgraduate dissertation.

The M.Sc. is awarded the Master Science Degree (M.Sc) entitled “Digital Culture, Smart Cities, IoT and Advanced Digital Technologies” with the following tracks:

• Ψηφιακός Πολιτισμός / Digital Culture
• Έξυπνες Πόλεις και Προηγμένες Ψηφιακές Τεχνολογίες / Smart Cities and Advanced Digital Technologies.
• Διαδίκτυο των Πραγμάτων (IoT) και Προηγμένες Ψηφιακές Τεχνολογίες / Internet of Things (IoT) and Advanced Digital Technologies.
