Diploma work

The diploma thesis is a professional publication of the student. The work is evaluated by the supervisor and the opponent. It can also serve as a basis for future professions. Students further develop their work with their professional skills and the art of independent problem solving.

At the beginning of the summer semester of the first year, students choose the topic of the diploma thesis published in the EDISON system. First, they contact the supervisor of the chosen diploma thesis, meet with him and discuss the assignment of the final thesis. Subsequently, the topic is registered in the EDISON system. Students can come to the guarantor of the study program with a proposal of their own thesis topic, who will assess it and possibly recommend a suitable supervisor. From this moment, it is appropriate to actively work on the implementation of the work and communicate with the supervisor of the final work.

During the winter semester of the second year (usually in November), they will pick up the original assignment of the diploma thesis at the secretariat of the Department of Cybernetics and Biomedical Engineering. This assignment must be entered officially as the second sheet of the diploma thesis. There are two compulsory subjects associated with the diploma thesis, namely Diploma Project I in the winter semester and Diploma Project II in the summer semester. These courses are completed by credits awarded by the supervisor of the bachelor's thesis. The award of credits is governed by the requirements for the award of credit published in the description of subjects in the EDISON system.

Diploma theses must be entered into the IS no later than the deadline specified on the original diploma thesis assignment. The diploma thesis is also submitted printed and bound in hardcover to the thesis supervisor. Both versions of the final thesis - electronic and its printed version must be identical.
