Recommended literature:
No specifications regarding the character of a specific topic for the dissertation thesis. Recommended literature is included in the doctoral student’s individual study plan.
Conditions for passing the course:
Course evalutation will be conducted individually based on the doctoral student‘s individual study plan, as well as on the basis of an agreement between the academic supervisor and doctoral student. Evaluation is standard and shall reflect a sufficient orientation of the student in the presented subject matter for successful course completion according to the Study Regulations of the Faculty of Natural Sciences UK.
Required language for successful course completion:
Slovak language in combination with English (study literature in English)
Brief outline of the course: The subject Dissertation Thesis is a compulsory part of the doctoral student’s study activities. The student requires a supremely individual character with regard to the specifics of the individual topics of the dissertation thesis. The basic syllabus should already be evident within the individual study plan of the doctoral student.
The subject is important especially in terms of understanding the basic theoretical and methodological aspects of the solution to the topic of the dissertation thesis with emphasis on self-study and consultation with the academic supervisor and a wide spectrum of consultants, who will take part in creating the professional potential of the doctoral student for the next (scientific) stage of his/her studies.
Educational outcomes: By passing this subject, the student will achieve sufficient orientation in the project issue of the dissertation thesis based on specific individual topics. This set task of knowledge is essential for a firmly established theoretical readiness of the course graduate in terms of his/her awareness, and equally supports his/her potential in a wide field of applied practice. Undoubtedly, the outcomes of his/her education will also be reflected in the student’s overview in terms of methodological approaches in the subject matter.
