“Attending this specific MSc was a very interesting experience. I felt hosted in a high-level academic space that pulsates with authenticity, vitality, interest and willingness, aiming at scientific training and continuous development. The free and fruitful interaction between learners and teachers under the impeccable supervision of the program managers is worth remembering. The variety of thematic units and the way they are presented, the organization of the lecture-exam program, the hybrid monitoring, the flexibility and immediacy of responding to any difficulty or need, encouraged as well as facilitated his uninterrupted attendance, despite my already overloaded, parallel, professional and other obligations. The preparation of my Master thesis was highly creative, within a context of encouragement, support, but also scientific claims of correctness and further academic exploitation of its findings. This particular MSc developed me in areas I needed. It encouraged the acquisition of useful skills and my reconnection with new scientific knowledge and data, with important scientists, with WHO actions and conferences. I highly recommend it.”
Evgenia Zampaoglou, Specialist Pathologist, MSc, Thessaloniki
“The content of the lectures is very interesting, the approach to the subjects is interdisciplinary, while the e-learning platform which contains rich material for further in-depth study is also important. As the attendance of the courses is hybrid and on predetermined weekends, my studies did not burden my work day as a medical specialist. However, the main reason I would recommend the MSc is the constant care and diligence of the teaching staff. The evaluation of courses and teachers in real time leads to the modification of the program for the benefit of the students, in the context of open communication and a relationship of trust that develops with the teaching staff. The student is encouraged to carry out primary research in the context of the Master thesis, to apply the knowledge gained, to face challenges and to overcome them with the active support of the teachers. In fact, the care and support from those in charge of the MSc continues even after the completion of the studies, with the active participation in actions to disseminate the results of the primary research, which significantly improved my presentation and communication skills.”
Ilias Pagkozidis, Specialist of General/Family Medicine, Athens

“Social Preventive Medicine and Quality in Health Care” was the best I could have chosen. It is an excellent postgraduate studies program with excellent professors, each highly trained in their field. The management of the program, as well as all the professors, were by our side throughout our studies, essentially and not impersonally. There was never a time when I needed anything and they weren’t by my side, which is very important for a postgraduate student. The same applies to the MSc’s secretariat. With all this guidance and support that continues to this day, I developed and it helped me in my participation in recognized National conferences. Also, something very important for me was that the program is implemented live and remotely, on predetermined weekends. This was very helpful for everyone, and especially for those of us who were not in Thessaloniki and were traveling from other cities. I would do it again without a second thought! I highly recommend it!
