Course objectives
The structure of the course including a brief content of seminars.
The diploma thesis seminar takes place in two basic forms. The first part represents a joint seminar organized in the separate specialized fields. The second part has more individual character and its form depends on a particular tutor of the diploma thesis. Some of them will prefer having joint consultations with students, the others will work with their students individually. It makes the course very flexible and the structure mentioned above is rather tentative. After completing this course students should be able to defend succesfully his/her diploma thesis.
