Master thesis

• Last phase of study, which concludes the education process.
• The student prepares a Master's thesis based on his/her research work and defends it in front of the committee.
• The student demonstrates that he/she is able to work independently on a given research task, and present the results to a critical audience while observing the ethical principles of scientific work.

/

Master's thesis in the field of physics. The topic is chosen in consultation with the supervisor and must be approved by the School Senate.
The thesis is written in English.

The student is capable of:

• independently organise a scientific problem into manageable tasks;

• define the relevant elements of the written work;

• precise description and interpretation of the results of the research work;

• clear presentation of problems and solutions to a group of scientists;

• critical evaluation of the results and the acquired literature.

Literature related to the topic of the master thesis.

The grade of the written thesis and the defense in front of the committee comprising: chairperson of the study committee, the thesis supervisor and an expert member. The grades are »pass«, »fail«.
