Osnova
  • Bachelor thesis is the final independent work of each student, which serves to prove their ability to identify and/or formulate an interesting topic of research, discussion and analysis from the perspective of both science and applied knowledge.
  • Each student works upon this final work for a full (third) academic year and the very process of writing is controlled by B.A. Seminars I-III.
  • In the early stage of the work, at the end of the second academic year, a student enrols into the the B. A. research project proposal (B.A. Seminar I). After a class presentation student works closely with the supervisor, formulating the topic of research, the structure of the work, methodological approach, data gathering, style and format of presentation etc. Once this stage is completed, a student can enrol into B.A. Seminar II-III, during which the final text of the thesis is written up and polished and defence strategy prepared.
  • It is recommended for the text of the thesis to incorporate and integrate within itself following three parts. The first one will be a definition of the chosen topic, its state of arts, firmly rooted in current relevant academic literature. Secondly, the text should contain a thorough discussion of the narrowed-down theory and the set of chosen research methods and techniques, which a student is proposing to use in the final part (preferably a case study). The case study contains a description of a closed/single unit event, upon which the topic and theory are intertwined and projected into the chosen material. Thus – a student demonstrates not only academic knowledge and abilities to write an academic article, but also their ability to see the social theory in everyday life and the ability to use it for observation and interpretation of daily and ordinary events. The case study may be formulated through the modality of their own choice. Defence of the thesis will be conducted orally, in front of the multidisciplinary commission.
