The Higher Educational Institutions of the country, according to the Legislation, are responsible for the planning and organization of postgraduate studies in Greece and grant Postgraduate Diplomas of Specialization (MDE). The Universities also have the competence to grant Doctoral Degrees (PhDs).

The Department of Agricultural Business and Supply Systems Management (DIGESE), will offer from the academic year 2022-23 the Inter-Institutional Master's Program entitled "Techno-economic Systems Management". It will also in the future offer a large number of Postgraduate Programs (Departmental, Interdepartmental, Interinstitutional, Transnational) covering various scientific fields of Agricultural Business Management and Supply Systems, thus enabling its graduates, as well as graduates from other academic institutions, to advance science and to claim their position in the labor market.

Postgraduate Programs are either financed from the regular budget or have as their main source of funding the payment of tuition fees. The DIGESE department, in order to ensure the good operation and sustainability of the PMS, is also looking for other sources of funding, such as donations, sponsorships, research programs. It also promotes the implementation of a scholarship system based on economic-social criteria, as well as student performance.

Doctoral Dissertations

The DIGESE department encourages innovation and research and offers graduates the opportunity to prepare a Doctoral Thesis. PhD candidates submit an application to the Secretariat of the Department where they are interested in preparing their doctoral thesis.

The DIGESE department has concluded Special Cooperation Protocols with similar institutions abroad for the preparation of doctoral theses under the co-supervision of professors who are members of international University networks.

Postdoctoral Research

The DIGESE department may collaborate with scientists conducting postdoctoral research in areas that fall within the research fields it promotes. Collaboration refers in particular to the supervision or advisory support of postdoctoral research by a faculty member or members, to the provision of access to scientific material or equipment, or to the assignment by the department of a specific research project with or without remuneration.

In particular, the DPMS aims to prepare students for high-level staffing in the private and public sectors, international organizations and, more generally, in the training of qualified scientists capable of contributing to multifaceted economic and social development. Also, the level of knowledge provided gives the possibility to continue studies at doctoral level. The DPMS will be implemented in the Greek language, while the English language can be used by invited speakers. The Master's Thesis is written in Greek or English, after a decision of the Special Inter-Institutional Committee (ESC).

The MSc leads to the award of the MSc in Techno-economic Systems Management upon full and successful completion of the studies based on the curriculum.
