Student Life
For current students
Everything you need —
between matriculation
and graduation.
Student services, your rights and obligations as a member of the UoM community, healthcare and tutoring, and the offices that exist to make eighteen months of postgraduate study run smoothly.
Start here
Three things to do first.
Check the academic calendar
Term dates, examination periods, official holidays and resit windows are published by the Erasmus office at uom.gr/en/erasmus-office/academic-calendar.
Sign in to my.uom.gr
The single sign-on student portal — class registration, exam grades, certificates, and contact with the Secretariat. Available at my.uom.gr.
An academic, assigned personally to you, throughout the duration of the MSc.
Personal Tutor
Someone whose job is your trajectory.
A personal tutor will be assigned to each student. The personal tutor is able to provide guidance on academic matters and on questions of prospective employment or further studies.
You should still contact the relevant module instructor for module-specific questions. The personal tutor's role is broader — advising on self-study approaches, on broadening your skills, and on turning the eighteen months of the MSc into a deliberate professional plan.
Healthcare
Coverage, by status.
EU students
Issue a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) in advance of your studies. The EHIC ensures the same access to healthcare as a Greek citizen for the duration of the MSc.
International students
Make your own arrangements for health insurance covering the full duration of your studies. Study in Greece can provide guidance on suitable policies that satisfy Greek visa requirements.
Disability & assessment support
If you require special arrangements during assessments, inform the Secretariat in writing, with documentation translated into English by a certified translator and confirmed by a healthcare professional. The Secretariat will inform module instructors and arrange modified assessments where appropriate, with strict confidentiality.
University services
Offices that exist for you.
The University of Macedonia operates a wide range of student services. The ones below are the most commonly used by MSc students — full contact details are listed on the Contact page.
Student Welfare
The first point of contact for support with accommodation, financial assistance, and well-being matters. Operates throughout the academic year.

Studying abroad can be stressful. Study in Greece exists to make it less so.
Study in Greece
An external partner —
free, official, useful.
Acknowledging that studying abroad can be stressful, the Greek Ministry of Education and Religious Affairs created Study in Greece — a free service for international students that can be extremely helpful for international student matters.
It should be your companion throughout your studies. You will find useful information at the website both before your arrival and during your stay, and you can contact Study in Greece with any issues that you may have through the Help Desk facility on the website.
