Course objectives
The subject creates conditions for the successful preparation and subsequent defense of the final qualification, i.e. diploma thesis. During the lectures, the student is guided so that he is able to properly prepare the diploma thesis in terms of content. As part of this, he will be guided to be able to use the theoretical and practical knowledge he has acquired during his studies to choose and develop a topic. To a lesser extent, attention will also be paid to the formal aspect of preparing the diploma thesis (this aspect is subsequently focused on in the follow-up subject Diploma Seminar in the third semester of study).
