The Department has no set research profile yet as it primarily relies on external associates.

Tourism

The newly established Department of Tourism Economics and Management of the School of Management Science, located in Chios, has the mission of compiling and developing the scientific disciplines relevant to tourism development and the management of tourism enterprises. It also aims to provide students with opportunities to pursue a career in the tourism sector. More specifically, the Department aims to train students so that they can meet the demands and the needs of the tourism sector. Students can choose from 2 streams “Tourism Planning and Policy” and “Tourism Management”.

The faculty employ a variety of teaching methods, including lecture, laboratory classrooms, student presentations, in-class discussions, small group assignments, active learning pedagogy, internships, and field work. Similarly, they follow a variety of assessments of student work, including final examinations, on-going coursework portfolio development, oral examinations, online projects and thesis. The student-to-equipment ratio is disturbingly high, especially because students in all three programs (UG, PG and PhD) require intense contact with technology.

Geography studies a wide range of natural and social phenomena that take place in space and time – such as land degradation and desertification, climate change, global environmental change, migration, urbanization and suburbanization, tourism development, social exclusion, industrialization and de-industrialization, the development of cities, regions and the countryside, globalization, geopolitics. A central concern of geographic inquiry is the analysis, understanding and interpretation of the spatial distribution and differentiation of natural and social characteristics.

Research in the Department of Geography is conducted in an agglomerative framework using a “bottom-up” approach. Research themes or directions consist of groups of Faculty members with similar research interests, and are often developed into research networks comprising Faculty within the Department of Geography, Faculty and researchers from other Greek Universities or research organizations, as well as partners from the European Union and/or the rest of the world. Research activities in the Department encompass a wide spectrum of themes, including theoretical and applied human geography.

The undergraduate programme is delivered in a flexible and student-centred learning environment that promotes mutual respect for students who demand it. Students are seen as active partners in the teaching/learning process by informally established flexible, interactive ways, strengthened by the institution of the students counselling by the members of the teaching stuff. Assessment criteria and methods are published in advance and there are both formal and informal procedures for student appeals in place. This way, the programme encourages students to develop individual skills.
