The Thesis Defence follows two semester-long diploma seminars, during which students acquire the necessary skills to write their own academic project, which they may submit as a master’s thesis. During the defence, students are assessed by their proven ability to both deal with the chosen theme and to orally present the results of their work, by responding to comments from the opponents as well as to questions posed by the examiners. In their theses, students should be able to prove that they have met the basic demands required to master the defined problem. |
