Course Content (Syllabus)
The postgraduate diploma Thesis in the fourth semester aims to introduce the student to the scientific research and/or scientific literature, research methodology, with the communication of their results, both written and oral, according to the rules applicable to the international scientific community. It includes the review of the scientific literature and the presentation of its results in a scientific subject.
In addition, the student will be trained in the laboratory/computer methodologies that will be required for his/her thesis and will then conduct experiments/computer studies independently, according to the plan approved during the completion of the "Master's Thesis ( Literature review and design of experimental or computational study) of the third semester, and he/she will constantly evaluate his results in collaboration with his supervisor, redesign the next steps and evaluate the originality and innovation. Then, after the cycle of experiments/computational studies has been successfully completed, he/she will write the text of his diploma thesis where the results will be presented in a critical manner and always in accordance with the Regulations for diploma theses of the postgraduate program. Finally, he will present his thesis publicly.
