It is part of the School of Humanities of the University of the Aegean, together with the Department of Primary Education and the Department of Pre-school Education and Educational Design. The School of Humanities is housed in two renovated buildings next to the Medieval Town of Rhodes.<\/span><\/p>\n

The study, teaching and research of these issues, which was attempted for the first time in an academic department of Greece, have given a unique and innovative character to the DMS. In the beginning of the fifth semester of study all students are required to choose one of the following three scientific divisions: 1. Archaeology, 2. Linguistics of the South-Eastern Mediterranean Area and 3. International Relations and Organizations. The Department has six Laboratories: Laboratory of Archaeometry, Laboratory of Mediterranean Politics, Laboratory of Informatics, Laboratory of Linguistics, Laboratory of Environmental Archeology, Laboratory for the Ancient World of the East Mediterranean.<\/span><\/p>\n

The DMS conducts innovative research in all the sub-fields it specializes in, so as to offer high-quality studies to its students. Moreover, the studies offered by the DMS have a modern, dynamic and competitive character. Students are encouraged to marginalize mediocrity and to develop their critical skills, in order to be able to achieve the \u201coptimal\u201d outputs. DMS seeks to foster a spirit of modern tendencies and pioneering studies, focusing on training activities and expanding scientific horizons, challenging punditry and searching for empirically tested points of view. In today\u2019s globalized world, the DMS aims at educating scientific personnel that will manage to effectively deal with the rapidly expanding and changing technological environment. The modern educational demands call for interdisciplinary and insightful executives who will contribute to Mediterranean region development, especially in the fields of international economics, politics and diplomacy, languages, literature and the civilization of the South-Eastern Mediterranean region, as well as to the communication among different cultures.<\/span><\/p>\n
