All matters pertaining to state examination are set out in Article 14 of the Study Regulations of the Faculty of Arts.
In the master’s study programmes, the state examination consists only of the defence of the Master’s thesis. The student chooses the department as a training centre which corresponds to the discipline within which he/she wants to write the final thesis. He/she reports this choice by the deadline set by the department, provided that he/she is able to find a supervisor and a suitable topic in the relevant department.
For the successful defence of the Master’s thesis as the subject of the state examination in the master’s degree programmes conducted at the Department of British and American Studies, students will receive credits according to the current study plan (currently 10 credits).
Requirements for the admission to the defence are as follows:
- fulfillment of the requirements of the study plan concerning the prescribed composition of courses and their credit value so that after awarding the credits for the state examination the student obtains the required number of credits for the master’s degree;
- submission of the Master’s thesis (electronically via the academic information system AIS) by the thesis submission deadline corresponding to the relevant state examination period according to the academic year schedule set by the faculty.
The thesis is evaluated by the standard grading scale (0-59% -FX, 60-67% -E, 68-75% -D, 76-83% -C, 84-91% -B, 92-100% -A) by the supervisor of the thesis and the designated opponent in the assessment reports, which are available to the student no later than 3 working days before the state examination.
The supervisor's report shall also include the percentage of compliance results from the originality check protocols (CRZP, Theses), which must be explicitly evaluated by the supervisor with the wording "the thesis shows/does not show signs of plagiarism".
The Master’s thesis will take the following form:
The defence will consist of a thesis presentation (the student chooses the form of the defence, the PPT format can also be used) and the student’s response to a broader theoretical question, which is assigned to the student by the supervisor upon the Master’s thesis submission. The supervisor will include this question in the assessment report as one of the points of discussion for the defence; it will also be included in the defence report.
The thesis presentation must:
- Include a clearly articulated thesis statement,
- have a clear and logical structure of argumentation and findings,
- reflect a new perspective on the issue as a result of adequate and appropriate work with the findings gained through own research, the conclusions of which the student is able to present and formulate.
The criteria for the evaluation (of the defence) of the Master’s thesis at the Department of British and American Studies are as follows:
- Quality of the Master’s thesis (originality, significance of the analysis, clear formulation of the scientific problem and hypotheses under study, scope of the professional and scientific literature used),
- the adequacy of the methodological approach to the topic under study, the analysis logically and coherently answers the research questions,
- systematic and logical summary of the results of the analysis,
- compliance with citation standards (MLA...),
