Progression through the study plan

The final state exam consists of two separately classified parts: the thesis defense and the professional final examination. The whole state examination takes about one hour (approximately 30 minutes for the defense, and 30 minutes for the examination). The student has 15 minutes to present his/her thesis, the next 15 minutes are devoted to the presentation of reviews and discussion. In the following oral examination, the student answers given questions without prior preparation, typically the examination is a debate in the range of two to three questions, with at least one question being asked from the common foundation of the follow-up study program and at least one question from the student's chosen specialization.

To pass the final exam, the student must be able to explain the basic terms he/she has learned in the profiling subjects of the program, demonstrate the ability to use the basic techniques, methods and concepts explained in the profiling subjects of the program and be able to respond to relevant additional questions or unfold them in depth. If a student is unable to meet any of these requirements, the student fails.

The condition for access to the final examination is the submission of the thesis. In the case of negative assessments for the thesis, the student can waive the defense, accept the assessment "failed" and proceed straight to the examination. If the defense is unsuccessful, it is not possible to withdraw from the examination.
