The format guidelines ensure that courseworks are uniformly presented and appropriately formatted for the presentation within a course. Thereof, students should carefully review this guide. The format requirements dictate such matters as: typeface and quality, spacing, margins, page numbering, placement of notes, headings, formatting of tables, figures, title page, citing and referencing, etc.
The bachelor thesis in the amount of 15 CP is the conclusion of the learning process of the Environmental Engineering bachelor’s study program.
The bachelor thesis must demonstrate:
-> the student’s level of knowledge and skills in the chosen speciality;
-> the ability to navigate the theoretical and legal issues of the topic of one’s work; skills to analyze and assess the situation and, based on the analysis, determine the development scenario, develop proposals and ways of achieving them;
-> ability to present the content of one’s work in a concentrated manner and to defend the research results obtained in its evaluation, formulating logical conclusions and proposals.
The student – the author of the work – is responsible for the quality of the bachelor’s thesis, the objectivity of the conclusions drawn, the presentation and submission within the set deadline. The bachelor is responsible for following the order of work creation specified in the guidelines.
The master thesis in the amount of 20 CP is the conclusion of the learning process of the Master’s study program in Environmental Engineering.
The master thesis must demonstrate:
-> the student’s level of knowledge and skills in the chosen specialty;
-> the ability to navigate the theoretical and legal issues of the topic of one’s work; skills to analyze and assess the situation and, based on the analysis, determine the development scenario, develop proposals and ways of achieving them;
