Learning outcomes

The subsequent part of the seminar is based on individual cooperation between the supervisor and the students, depending on the specific topic of each thesis. Supervisors recommend relevant sources and literature, research methods, and a work schedule. Regular attendance and active participation in the thesis seminars ensure the systematic development and completion of the master's thesis.
The student will learn how to define a scholarly theme in such a manner which will result in an 80-page-long thesis and will learn how to structure text so it contains logical and sequential argumentation and overall coherence.
