This information package describes the University of Ioannina and the courses offered by the Department of Chemistry in order to help the prospective ECTS student to prepare his/her study period in this institution.

What is ECTS?
ECTS, the European Community Course Credit Transfer System, was developed by the Commission of the European Communities in order to provide common procedures to quarantee academic recognition of studies abroad. It provides a way of measuring and comparing learning achievements, and transferring them from one institution to another.
The ECTS system is based on the principle of mutual trust and confidence between the participating higher education institutions. The few rules of ECTS, concerning Information (on courses available), Agreement (between the home and host institutions) and the Use of Credit Points (to indicate student workload) are set out to reinforce this mutual trust and confidence. Each ECTS department will describe the course it offers not only in terms of content but also adding credits to each course.

The ECTS credits
        ECTS credits are a value allocated to course units to describe the student workload required to complete them. They reflect the quantity of work each course requires in relation to the total quantity of work required to complete a full year of academic study at the institution, that is, lectures, practical work, seminars, private work-in the library or at home-and examinations or other assessment activities. ECTS credits express a relative value.
        In ECTS, 60 credits represent the workload of a year of study; normally 30 credits are given for a semester and 20 credits for a term. It is important that no special courses are set up for ECTS purposes, but that all ECTS courses are mainstream courses of the participating institutions, as followed by the home students under normal regulations.
        It is up to the participating institutions to subdivide the credits for the different courses. Practical placements and optional courses which form an integral part of the course of study also receive academic credit. Practical placements and optional courses which do not form an integral part of the course of study do not receive academic credit. Non-credit courses may, however, be mentioned in the transcript of records.
        Credits are awarded only when the course has been completed and all required examinations have been successfully taken.

ECTS students
        The students participating in ECTS will receive full credit for all academic work successfully carried out at any of the ECTS partner institutions and they will be able to transfer these academic credits from one participating institution to another on the basis of prior agreement on the content of study programmes abroad between students and the institutions involved.
        All students of the participating departments who are willing to take part in the ECTS Pilot Scheme may do so if their institution agrees and within the limit of available places.
        Most students participating in the ECTS will go to one single host institution in one single EC Member State, study there for a limited period and then return to their home institution. Some may decide to stay at the host institution, possibly to gain a degree. Some may also decide to proceed to a third institution to continue their studies. In each of these three cases, students will be required to comply with the legal and institutional requirements of the country and institution where they take their degree.
        When the student has successfully completed the study programme previously agreed between the home and the host institutions and returns to the home institution, credit transfer will take place, and the student will continue the study course at the home institution without any loss of time or credit. If, on the other hand, the student decides to stay at the host institution and to take a degree there, he or she may have to adapt the study course due to the legal, institutional and departmental rules in the host country, institution and department.
        Students selected by each institution to participate in ECTS may only be awarded a student mobility grant if they fulfil the general conditions of eligibility for the ERASMUS grant. These are:

1.2 The City of Ioannina
Ioannina with approximately 100000 inhabitants is the capital of Epirus, situated in the north-west part of Greece, in an altitude of about 600 m, above the sea level, 450 km from Athens. It is spread in the shores of the lake Pamvotis, the lake of Ioannina, with its picturesque island in the middle.
The province of Epirus is the most mountainous place in Greece in the south of Albania. The city of Ioannina itself is surrounded by mountains, with mount Mitsikeli to the north, dominating it. Ioannina is about 60 km south of the Albania border and about 100 km from the port of Igoumenitsa, the nearest to the island of Corfu, port of continental Greece. The modern city is the trade center of Epirus and famous for its popular art of golden and silver jewellers and wood sculpture.

1.3 Historic Ioannina
        The Historian Prokopios mentions for the first time the foundation of the city as the new Evria at 527 A.D. with the inhabitants of old Evria, in the peninsula where its old castle is situated. The inhabitants of old Evria were removed by the emperor Justinian, because of the strategic importance of the new location.
        The word "Ioannina" is officially mentioned for the first time in the Acts of Constantinople (879 A.D.), with Zacharias Bishop of Ioannina.
        The year 1082, Ioannina was occupied by the Normans. With the fall of the Byzantine Empire to the Latins (1204), Michael Comninos a member of the last dynasty, established the Despotato (sovereignty) of Epirus (1205). A bright progress of Ioannina soon began to appear and a favourable climate for the development of culture and sciences was created. In 1335 the Despotato of Epirus united with the regenerated Byzantine State. After the conquest of Ioannina by Serbians (1367) and Italians (1385), the city came under the Turkish rule (1430), but with several privileges (e.g. the inviolable of the church, non settlement of Turks in the castle etc.). However, after the revolution of Dionysios Skylosophos in Ioannina all these privileges were lost.
        By the end of the 18th century the famous Ali Pasha from Tepeleni became the ruler of Ioannina. He expanded his sovereignty beyond Epirus, also to west Macedonia, Thessaly and the whole mainland of Greece. Later, Ali Pasha revolted against the Sultan and he was finally assassinated on the small island of the lake, in 1822.
        The region of Epirus, with Ioannina were liberated by the Greek Army and united with the modern Greek state, after the fight at Bizani, on the 21st February 1913.

1.4 Travelling to Ioannina
Ioannina is connected by bus with Athens (7 hrs), Thessaloniki (6 hrs) and other cities. Also 1.5 hrs from Igoumenitsa (ferry boat connection to Italy and Corfu). It is also connected by airplane with Athens, every day (1hr) and Thessaloniki (40 minutes), It is connected with Tirana (Albania), once a week (1hr). The airport of Ioannina is located 4 km from down town and 10 km from the University Campus.

3. Description of the Department
        The Chemistry Department of the University of Ioannina was founded in 1977, It has 56 academic staff members, 18 technical staff members and 4 administrative persons. There are about 550 students in total. In addition there are about 250 young researchers (working for a Master degree, Doctorate degree or postdoctoral fellows), in various fields of chemical research.
        The teaching system consists of theoretical (oral) courses and of laboratory courses, compulsory or optional, that may also include a small theoretical introduction for each one of them. The students' assessment method is mainly based on a written examination of a three (3) hours duration for each theoretical or laboratory course given at the end of each semester. The laboratory courses also include an assessment on the general performance of the student during his training and to individual laboratory exercise reports that the student has to submit at the end of each experiment. The final note of the student for the laboratory courses are therefore the average of the above three notes obtained. Depending on the staff members (teachers) a theoretical course may also be periodically examined prior to the final written examinations, in which case the final note is the average of the two examinations.
        Both the local and national students' grading system varies between 0-10 marks. The lowest mark for succeeding a course is 5. Between mark 5-6.5 the student's performance is GOOD. Between 6.5-8.5 is VERY GOOD and between 8.5-10 is EXCELLENT. Between 0-4 the student fails.
        The Department of Chemistry of the University of Ioannina offers the Ptychion (Bachelor's) degree, the Certificate of Specialisation (Master's) degree and the Didactorikon (Doctoral) degree. To obtain the Ptychion (Bachelor�s) degree, the student has to study for a 4 years (8 semesters) full time period and complete a total of 233 credits consisting of theoretical or laboratory, compulsory or optional courses, corresponding to 240 Erasmus-ECTS credits. According to the system of our institution each course, theoretical or laboratory, compulsory or optional gives one (1) credit per teaching hour, per week. The Certificate of Specialisation and the Didactorikon degrees may be obtained under special regulations. The Certificate of Specialisation and the Didactorikon degrees may be obtained under special regulations.
        Over the previous years, 890 students graduated from the Department of Chemistry of the University of Ioannina with Bachelor degree, 7 with Master and 116 with Ph.D. degree.
        The Department of Chemistry is consist of four sectors:
(a). Sector of Inorganic and Analytical Chemistry
(b). Sector of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry
(c). Sector of Physical Chemistry
(d). Sector of Industrial and Food Chemistry
        Each sector is responsible for teaching the courses and practical work of its specialisation and also do research. The total state budget of the Department of Chemistry of every year is divided among these sectors according to the total number of hours of teaching and laboratory work of each. Every staff member may have additional research funds from various sources.
        From the academic year 1998-99, the programme of courses and laboratory works given by the Department of Chemistry was revised. The four years (8 semesters) programme consists of 7 semesters of compulsory courses, plus 1 semester of optional courses. The 8th semester is divided into six sections. The sections of:
(i) Physical and Theoretical Chemistry
(ii) Basic and Applied Inorganic and Analytical Chemistry
(iii) Organic chemistry
(iv) Biochemistry and Clinical Chemistry
(v) Chemical Technology and Environment
(vi) Food Sciences and Oenology
        These six (6) sections may be considered as preparatory for graduate studies for the students that chose them during their 8th semester of undergraduate studies. The 8th semester offers the students 30 credits, 24 of which have to be obtained in one chosen section and the remaining 6 of the same or any other section.

        The ptychion is awarded after successfully passing with at least a five (5) mark of all the theoretical and laboratory, compulsory or optional courses and obtaining the required 233 local credits or 240 ECTS credits. This can be achieved in four (4) years (8 semesters) full time study.
        The choice of the optional course is done by the student at the beginning of each semester to the secretariat of the department The books required for each course are distributed to the student free of any charge. An award of 200000 GDR per year is awarded to the best student of each class and 150000 GDR to the second best one. If the number of students of the class exceeds the number of 100, a third award of 130000 GDR is awarded to the third best student as well.
        If a student fails four times (4) in the examinations of any course, he has the right to ask by the administration committee of the department, to be examined by a three members committee with the participation of the main examiner.
        If a student does not graduate after six (6) tears of studies, he has not the right to have free hospital and medical treatment, free books, food, awards, transportation etc.
        An Erasmus student may obtain a Ptychion degree at the Department of Chemistry if he successfully passes the courses of an one (1) full year or at least one (1) semester of study and he gets 60 or 30 credits correspondingly, provided he has obtained the remaining 180 or 210 credits in his home institution.
        An Erasmus student may also work in a laboratory for one or two semesters in a laboratory project of his choice among the six (6) sections offered in the Department of Chemistry, without the obligation to follow any courses. He will be awarded 30 or 60 credits respectively after a successful diploma work of one or two semesters, by submitting a corresponding report at the end of his session in English. This laboratory training may also be an introduction to research, according to his choice. An Erasmus student may also be placed in industrial laboratories for the proper training and receive the 30 or 60 credits according to the time spent, though our Ptychion degree has not as a prerequisite the industrial training. Therefore, such an industrial placement for a student is only done upon the request of his home institution.
        Graduate studies in English may also be offered in case of an interest of at least three students for each course.
