Dissertation

Specific Foundation

The course is also offered to exchange programme students.

Upon the successful completion of the dissertation, students: - will be able to present their findings in response to the research question. - will have acquired independent research skills they have acquired during their studies.

The Dissertation thesis is completed during the 4th semester of studies. The thesis must be approximately 15,000 words, including any footnotes or endnotes, not including the cover page and bibliographic list at the end, and be written in English. The Curriculum Committee prepares and publishes on the website of the Program a preparation guide, formatting templates and a model cover of dissertations that students of the Program must follow, as well as the criteria for judging the dissertation. For the preparation of a Postgraduate Dissertation thesis, the following procedure is followed: • At the beginning of the fourth semester, the student submits a proposal to the Department to which the proposed supervisor belongs, stating the proposed title of the thesis, the proposed supervisor and attaching a summary of the proposed thesis. • The Department to which the application is submitted informs the Curriculum Committee thereof without delay. • The Curriculum Committee examines whether the student has completed his/her teaching obligations of the previous semesters. In a positive case, it appoints the thesis supervisor and establishes a three-member Examination Committee for its approval, one member of which is the supervisor. The members of the three-member Examination Committee must have the same or a related scientific discipline with the subject of the Program. The Dissertation is defended before the three-member Examination Committee at a date and place determined by the Curriculum Committee according to the academic calendar of the universities involved, either in person or online. Following its approval by the Committee, it must be posted on the website of the relevant Department. In exceptional cases, if there is an objective impossibility or an important reason, it is possible to replace the supervisor or member of the three-member Examination Committee at his/her request and by decision of the Curriculum Committee. The Dissertation, after its completion and grading, is submitted to the library of each Department in electronic form and in any way specified by each Department. The dissertation file should be in conventional font, full alignment, line spacing 1.5, numbering at the bottom of the page, margins 2.5 cm on all sides of the page.
