Diploma Examination + topics for the thesis defense


dyplom tuba.pngThe examination committee is composed of its chairperson, a committee member, the supervisor, and the reviewer.

The committee may include a secretary. Each person has only one function. The secretary does not have the right to ask questions or participate in the assessment of the answers.

As a rule, the defences are held in a stationary form. In special cases, they may take place remotely, using a videoconferencing communication platform. In exceptional situations, the supervisor or reviewer may participate in a stationary defence via videoconferencing or a phone call in speaker mode, and the student may take part via the videoconferencing mode. During remote defences, all of the members and the student are present on the communication platform at once and are visible and audible.

During the diploma examination (defense), the student gives a presentation of his/her thesis lasting a maximum of 5 minutes and answers two examination questions.
The questions concern:
1) issues in the field of work, and
2) issues from the field of study.
a) When evaluating the presentation, the following are taken into account: the way of presenting the research problem, the methods used in the work and the results obtained, as well as the added value resulting from the work. What is important here is the clarity, conciseness and completeness of the statement.
b) In response to the question on issues in the scope of the work, it is verified whether the student is able to address the allegations made in the review, the independence of the research conducted and knowledge of the subject matter directly related to the thesis are assessed.
(c) In the answer to the question on the field of study, general knowledge in relation to the selected subject or resulting from a combination of several subjects is verified. The question is arranged by the committee on the basis of the pool of issues announced to students at least one month before the respective defense session. In the event that an updated list of issues is not announced, the existing pool shall apply.

The file with a presentation must be send up to 24h before scheduled date of the exam here: B1szU+ZjnOH]LTE~*!v=9YA{Q_b]#[.nfjD$qZU2.A.]9mj.l2F?|qZPO
