Bachelor’s Final Work / Master’s theses is an individual work presented in a written form, equivalent to 10 credit units (15 ECTS) for Bachelor’s Final Work and 30 credit units (45 ECTS) for Master’s theses. The Final Work / Master’s theses must be done in the student’s major subject under the supervision of a teacher. The supervisor and the student must settle the subject of the Final Work / Master’s Thesis. The student is allowed to submit his/her Final Work / Master’s Thesis if he/she has passed all the courses required for the degree. The Final Work / Master’s Thesis is defended in the presence of a Faculty Commission and evaluated by grade.
Course Work / Project can also belong to the study programme and be evaluated by credit units and grades. Course work / project is usually required simultaneously to a theoretical lecture and its aim is to simulate the students to analyse the theory in a deeper level and to apply it in practice.
