Invitation to defense

The invitation for the Defense will be published in the SIS no later than three working days before your defense (on the SIS main page under the icon "Final Exams"). The schedule of the academic year, together with the deadlines for submission, also includes details of the dates of the state exams. It is always a relatively long period of time, which will be determined by the number of submitted theses. The specific list of defenses is compiled with respect to the teachers' time possibilities, the student cannot choose his / her term.

Official reviews

The opponent and the supervisor draw up the opinions of the submitted thesis, expressly specifying whether they recommend or they do not recommend thesis for the defense and propose the degree of its classification, or point evaluation. The supervisor will also evaluate the student's activity during the creation of the thesis. Reviews for your bachelor thesis will be available for download in the SIS at least three working days before your defense.

You can find reviews this way: "Thesis" → "My Thesis" → "Detail" - "Submitted Files".

Bachelor's thesis defense

Approximately 60 minutes are reserved for the defense of the bachelor thesis. The actual defense of the thesis is done by a discussion, during which the applicant informs the committee about the topic of the thesis, the problems solved, the methods used and the results obtained. The author thus demonstrates the ability to present their results verbally and to defend them before the commission. The duration of the presentation is 10, maximum 15 minutes. In this part of the defense, the student does not respond to opinions that will be given later. Comments are allowed for the defense. It is highly recommended to use a PowerPoint presentation. You should send it by e-mail to the secretary of the programme in advance.

The following is the presentation of the supervisor's report and the opponent's report, if any of the authors of the reports cannot be present, the report is read out loud. The author then responds to the comments contained in the assessments, comments on the pre-set suggestions for discussion and answers the questions raised during the defense.

Then it is followed by the commission meeting without the presence of the student and then the announcement of the defense result.
