The Diploma Seminar prepares students for developing their own diploma thesis. The students will receive counseling in how to formulate a research question and develop a project description for their diploma thesis. They will receive insights in tools for gathering information and literature, and gives experience with academic writing techniques.

In the diploma thesis the student must demonstrate the ability to work independently in keeping with academic standards, a knowledge and understanding of the relevant scholarly literature and the ability to analyze the issue under study.

Diploma Seminar II is normally enrolled in the LS of the second year of study or as the last course in subsequent years, when students complete data collection and work on the final version of their theses. The student submits the various developed parts of the thesis and concludes the seminar when the thesis is close to being submitted for defense. In the last stages of the seminar, the finished parts of the thesis are already discussed, the methodology is tested and the conclusions of the thesis are already evident.

V diplomové práci musí student prokázat schopnost samostatné práce v souladu s akademickými standardy, znalost a porozumění příslušné odborné literatuře a schopnost analyzovat studovanou problematiku.

Standardně se Diploma seminar II zapisuje v LS druhého ročníku studia nebo jako poslední předmět v dalších ročnících, kdy studenti dokončují sběr dat a pracují na závěrečném znění diplomových prací. Student předkládá jednotlivé rozpracované části diplomové práce a uzavírá seminář ve chvíli, kdy již je práce ve stádiu blízká před odevzdání k obhajobě. V posledních fázích semináře jsou již diskutovány hotové části práce, je otestována metodologie a jsou již zřejmé závěry diplomové práce.
