Diploma laboratory 0600-S2-O-LD

The course program includes 60 hours of diploma laboratory work and serves as preparation for the independent completion of a diploma thesis within the framework of topics consistent with the Department/Institute where the work is being carried out. The aim of the course is to prepare the student to formulate a research problem independently, create a work plan, study literature and its critical analysis, conduct empirical research, collect and interpret data, formulate conclusions, and write a thesis based on this. The student will be introduced to the methodology of creating works of a scientific monograph nature - a diploma thesis and will receive technical support in independently preparing and editing the diploma thesis.
