Diploma theses have usually two basic parts - theoretical, representing the professional background, and practical, solving a defined managerial problem in a particular enterprise. The student demonstrates his ability to write a comprehensive technical text, including the ability to find, analyze and propose a concrete solution to the practical problem of a real enterprise, which can not generally be described as trivial (i.e. its solution requires deeper analysis). The guidelines for the elaboration of the thesis are regulated by the ESF Directive No. 9/2017 on the creation, submission, publication and evaluation of the final (bachelor's and diploma) theses.
