A typical graduation course consists of a project course in one semester and a final paper in the following semester. The final paper must then have a formal assignment approved by the department chair. Bachelor’s thesis (cz) concludes the undergraduate studies and typically follows the Bachelor Project (cz). Please note that BIO Bachelor’s programme is not taught in English, but Czech only. Diploma thesis concludes the master’s studies and typically follows the Diploma Project.

If the student fulfils all the requirements (both the thesis and the studies) and receives credit for both the project course and the thesis, they may apply for the Final State Examination, where they must defend their thesis and pass the professional part. Upon successful defence and examination, they will successfully complete the studies.

Final Exams

  • Topics for Bachelor’s (cz) and Master’s final exam
  • During the Bachelor’s final exam, students are usually asked two questions from three topic areas.
  • During the Master’s final exam, students are usually asked two questions, one from the common core (4 topics areas) and one from the compulsory subjects of the relevant specialisation (5 topics areas).
  • How to final exam by student club +/-FEL (in Czech)

Basic information for writing thesis

We recommend that you directly contact the potential supervisor in the student’s area of interest to discuss the process. Supervisors may also assign new topics when appropriate. You have a great deal of choice in the topic, however, we require that the topic is relevant to the focus of our program. If you are in doubt, please contact the guarantors. As of 17.2.2025, final theses are submitted only in electronic form!

Diploma project

Current information about the diploma project can be found on CourseWare. Below are the main points that need to be followed for successful completion of the project.

  • Students choose a topic and apply for it on the faculty page.
  • The topic must be related to your study program, in case of doubts contact a guarantor. The assignment of the topic is approved by the supervisor and guarantor (in the application for semester projects).
  • The project topic needs to be chosen by the end of the 2nd week of the semester in which the student has enrolled in the course, however, we recommend starting to look for a suitable topic already during the previous semester.
  • During the 3rd week, the course administrator checks whether all students enrolled in the course have an assigned and approved assignment in the application. The check is indicated in BRUTE in task topic by one point.
  • The student informs his/her supervisor about the rules specified at this page, obeys them during the semester and ensures fulfilling the deadlines. (The supervisors often lead projects of many students of different project courses with different rules; keep them informed about the specifics of your course.)
  • The diploma project usually follows up on a diploma thesis and results from a diploma project can be used in a diploma thesis, but this is not a condition.
  • During the semester, student regularly consults with his supervisor, usually once every 1-2 weeks.
  • The result of a diploma project is always a technical report of recommended length 10-20 pages and materials for presentation about 5-10 minutes long. These materials are uploaded by students into tasks report and presentation of submission system BRUTE by the end of the 3rd week of examination period. Usually, source codes, diagrams, drawings or tables of results are also results according to project focus, which can be attached to technical report (and uploaded as ZIP).
  • After a consultation with the student, the supervisor sets a date and time for project presentation, which is published in this table, at least 1 week in advance. Presentations are open to everyone, they can also take place online.
  • Based on the submitted results and presentation, the supervisor evaluates student’s work by the end of the examination period and sends this evaluation to course administrator Petr Pošík, who awards the assessment to the student in KOS.
