Professional practice: have to be performed at a firm which is independent from the university, has to last at least for six weeks.
The supervisory system of knowledge: it is composed of performing the requirements detailed in the curriculum, finishing professional practice, creation of thesis work and passing the final exam.
Requirements of the thesis
The thesis has to solve an IT task of a specialization or work out a research topic during two semesters based on the knowledge of the student, complimented by studying the literature and supervised by consultants. The candidate proves by the thesis work his or her proficiency in applying the knowledge learned, ability to perform analysis and design tasks, is experienced in the literature and can use it to create value.
Conditions for taking the final exam
All requirements of the curriculum must be met, furthermore
- collect at least 120 credits, in which the thesis work represent 30 credits,
- the requirements of professional practice must be fulfilled,
- the thesis work must be judged and accepted by a reviewer.
Parts of the final exam
The candidate presents and defends his/her thesis work. The members of the committee ask questions referring the topic of the thesis during the complex exam, in order to check the skills of the candidate.
The result of the final exam
The committee grades the result of the final exam with a single mark by averaging the grades given to the thesis defense and the complex exam. If this grade is “fail”, the committee decides whether partly or fully accepts the thesis work.
The assessment of degree
Weighted grade point average considering the whole study time, arithmetic average of the grades given to the complex exam and thesis defense.
