The School of Medicine of the University of Athens, in partnership with the University of Milano-Bicocca, announces the launch of a Postgraduate Cooperation Programme (PCP) that will run for 18 months, leading to a Postgraduate Diploma (MSc) in “Endovascular Techniques”. The Programme also offers the option of obtaining a PhD in the scientific field of modern Endovascular Techniques for the treatment of arterial and venous disorders.
The Programme commences in late January / early February 2022 and includes two (2) academic semesters of compulsory attendance of classes and one (1) semester for preparing and drafting a dissertation to conclude the MSc. A total of ninety (90) credits (ECTS) is required to obtain the MSc.
