Bachelor's and master's thesis may be in a traditional form, or in the form of a scientific article. A diploma thesis defended in a field of study conducted in Polish may be written in Polish or English. A diploma thesis defended in a field of study conducted in English is written in English.

The thesis subject area:

• is determined as part of the arrangements between the supervisor and the student,
• should be in line with the field of study,
• may provide interdisciplinary connections to other scientific disciplines.

The title of the diploma thesis:

• must inform about the subject and scope of the diploma thesis,
• requires approval by the thesis supervisor.

The diploma thesis may be written by two students. All authors must include declarations in the work concerning their substantive contributions, and the percentage contributed to each chapter of the work. The contribution of each student's work is equal - it amounts to 50% in a thesis written in the traditional form, and no less than 40% in the case of an article (taking into account the supervisor's contribution of max. 20% to a scientific article). The supervisor must demonstrate in the review (in the section for comments) that the co-authorship by two students was justified.

The diploma thesis may include fragments of final papers from other subjects in the course of studies; however, they must be extended under the supervision of the supervisor. The student includes a relevant statement in the thesis on the use of fragments of other final works and the contribution to their creation (a statement like the one made in the case of a thesis written by two students).
