Anotace - angličtina
A master’s thesis is a crucial academic work authored by students. Importantly, a successful defence of a master’s thesis is one of the requirements for finishing the study and receiving the Mgr. degree. Since the path to writing a master’s thesis is quite long with many challenges, the course starts this process with essential assistance.

Cíl předmětu - angličtina
The course presents all the formal requirements of a master’s thesis and delivers tips and tricks on writing it. Furthermore, the course focuses on specifics of master’s theses from the field of either politics, or economics. Besides this, the course helps students prepare their Master’s Thesis Project to find a supervisor and increase their chances of writing high-quality work.

Metody výuky - angličtina
To share materials and plan the semester, we will use an electronic platform Moodle. Meeting attendance is not mandatory, so students do not have to apologise for an absence. Still, students are strongly advised to attend all relevant thematic seminars and make maximum use of the course to build the foundations of a high-quality master’s thesis.

Sylabus - angličtina

1. Introduction, Basic Information (February 19)

Students will be introduced to the course content. Besides this, basic information, such as the main aspects of master’s theses or schedules, will be presented and discussed.

Reading:

  • Dean’s Provision no. 18/2023 – Dean’s provision governing content-related, formal and technical essentials concerning elaboration and submission of final theses and acts of their filing and accessibility in electronic form.

2. Preparation and Writing (February 26)

The seminar describes the process of finding a supervisor of a master’s thesis and preparing the Master’s Thesis Project, together with registering the thesis in the SIS. Then, essential aspects of the writing process are presented with information on the defence of the thesis during a final state examination. 

3. Research Design (March 5)

The seminar delivers an overview of how to prepare a design of research. This is helpful mainly for students who want to brush up on such recommendations.

4. Software and Referencing (March 12)

The seminar presents the most helpful software tools for writing a master’s thesis. Specifically, these are text editors, data editors or citation managers. Moreover, referencing will be briefly reminded.

5. Thesis on Politics (March 19)

The seminar introduces specific characteristics of master’s theses on topics from the field of political science. If you think about writing such a thesis, join the seminar. 

6. Thesis on Economics (March 26)

The seminar lists specific characteristics of master’s theses on topics from the field of economics. If you think about writing such a thesis, join the seminar.

Individual Consultations

Students can discuss the preparation of their master’s thesis with the teacher during individual consultations. Before that, do not forget to make a reservation (students should use special office hours for this course). These meetings are voluntary and they might be helpful mainly before finding a supervisor – after that, the supervisor is a primary assistant in preparing the Master's Thesis Project and the thesis as such.

The same assistance is offered via e-mail – students can consult specific questions or ask for a review of the Master’s Thesis Project.
