Students studying for a master's degree
Students studying for a master's degree graduate after successfully defending a thesis. Obtaining a master's degree gives them access to doctoral studies and participation in continuing education and training.
Only students who have successfully passed all their semester exams and fulfilled all requirements of their curriculum have the right to submit a thesis. The department chair appoints a supervisor for the graduates and a thesis reviewer. The department organizes a thesis defense within three sessions. Students must submit an application to the rector before the thesis defense.
Students appear for the thesis defense in the third and subsequent sessions with individual protocols after they are prepared by the Academic Activities Directorate at least one day before the thesis defense date and after payment of the specified fee by the relevant student.
Students hold their thesis defense in front of the committee, which includes at least three university lecturers in the particular scientific field. Lecturers from other universities and specialists from concrete practice may participate in the committee.
The students graduating according to the curriculum are awarded a Master's degree in the relevant specialty with the professional qualification "economist." VUZF issues a European diploma supplement to the diploma.
IMPORTANT!
Dear students,
Only students with average results from the Bachelor's degree semester exams Good 4.00 can work on a thesis!
