Passing the study plan

The state examination for the PSPHR master’s degree program takes place each semester and has two components:
1. defense of the diploma thesis, and 2. a written test of the ability to write an expert analysis on a chosen theme.
Defense of the diploma work
The standard length of the basic text of the master’s diploma work (without footnotes, explanations or annexes)
must be between 18,000 and 22,000 words (144,000 to 162,000 characters including spaces).
The quality of the diploma thesis is assessed according to theoretical-methodological and formal criteria. The theoreticalmethodological
criteria serve as a tool for assessing the diploma work during the thesis-reader procedure.
The formal criteria are the starting point for determining the conditions for granting credit for the subject called Final Thesis.

Written examination of the ability to draw up an expert evaluation on a given topic.
The task of the student is to write a report (expert evaluation) within a time limit.
This form of examination verifies the student’s ability to synthetically apply the theoretical and empirical knowledge, methodological procedures and analytical skills and abilities acquired during the studies in order to analyze and solve
a specific problem in public and social policy and human resources development. In particular, emphasis is placed on the interconnection/synthesis of knowledge from the various subjects that the student has undergone, on the choice
and consistent application of a methodologically appropriate procedure for the analysis of the problem and/or the formation of proposals for its solution (the key areas include the knowledge and skills acquired from the subjects of
evaluation research, the implementation of public programs, and other compulsory subjects of particular specializations).
Students choose one of the types of assignment. Possible types of assignment include, in particular, the theoretical reflection of a particular problem or the ways to solve it, a proposal of a methodology for problem-analysis or its
solution, the methodology of writing a project/proposals for the solution of a problem, the evaluation of a particular project or measures to solve a particular problem, and finally the writing of (a part of) a project or a proposal for the
solution to a problem in the area of public and social policy, social services, employment policy or human resources development and organizational development.
The student subsequently selects from a list of topics, problems, situations or areas of social policy or social services, employment policy, human resources management and social development. Instructions for the completion of the diploma thesis and for the final state examination are available on the website
of the department.
These lists always contain topics, problems, situations, areas that were the subject of the Master's follow-up study of the program.
The topics of the Master's state examination are therefore generally defined by the commonly available Master's programme of the Master's degree programme of PSPHR or the syllabi of the courses listed therein. The second level of selection allows each of the students to choose for their treatise the topics of the elective courses they have taken.
