The aim of this Interuniversity-Interdepartmental MSc is the postgraduate specialization and the deepening of the theoretical knowledge of new graduates or people working in various scientific fields on issues related, on the one hand, to higher education policy as an independent field of educational policy and to the sciences of education, and on the other hand, to higher education as a social institution and as a field of development and implementation of policies at regional, national, European and international level, as well as to the analysis of related issues on an interdisciplinary basis. In this context, the I.I.MSc aims to provide high quality postgraduate studies and thus to provide the appropriate skills that will enable postgraduate students to pursue research pathways in the field of higher education policy by continuing their studies at doctoral level with a view to becoming researchers/academics, as well as to engage professionally in the field of higher education in response to the ever-increasing needs of new institutions and new structures developed for the implementation of new higher education policies (e.g. government policy bodies such as Ministry of Education, Scholarships Foundation, etc., quality assurance and accreditation bodies (e.g. HAHA, National Organisation for the Certification of Qualifications & Vocational Guidance, etc.), educational planning bodies, corresponding innovative structures within higher education institutions, such as Quality Assurance Units, Employment and Career Structures, psychological support and guidance offices, etc.).
