Rules and guidelines for defending master's theses
This page contains essential information, deadlines, and technical instructions related to the preparation and defense of master’s theses for students in the “Master” degree program.
1. Topic selection
The selection of a topic for the master’s thesis is carried out through the BPM system within the announced deadlines for the respective session. More information can be found HERE. The topics are published by the department’s lecturers, and the choice is made among them. If you wish to work with a specific lecturer who has not posted a topic or you want to refine an existing one, you may contact them to clarify the details. Students must make their selection within the deadline, as the system will not allow changes after it expires.
2. Work on the master’s thesis
Work on the master’s thesis is carried out within the specified timeframe in the Moodle course.
3. Submission of the completed master’s thesis
The final submission of the thesis is done exclusively through the BPM system, in accordance with the schedule for the respective session (winter / summer / autumn). The supervisor may return the thesis for corrections only once, and the student must complete the required revisions within the specified deadline.
4. Plagiarism check by students
According to Article 2 of the UNWE document “Temporary rules for electronic verification of the originality of diploma papers (master’s theses),” the student (author of the master’s thesis) personally performs the electronic originality check after prior coordination with the supervisor. The check is requested through an electronic application in the UNWE system at the following link: https://shorturl.at/RPzdd
If you completed your studies in previous years but are now preparing to defend your master’s thesis and do not have access to the Moodle course, please write to: [email protected] or [email protected].
