Assessment methods

Regular consultations with the supervisor and the submission of the thesis to the IS drop-off room (in this subject) and to the IS final thesis archive are the requirements for the assignment. They must be identical versions. If the thesis is not judged to be of sufficient quality, it will not be accepted by the department and therefore no credit will be awarded. In this case, the student will have to withdraw the thesis from the archive and revise it.

Teacher's information

The topic of the bachelor thesis must be registered in the IS MU via the "Student timetables" agenda. The list of currently announced topics is listed in the "Bachelor's Thesis: Mediterranean Studies" schedule. If a student is not satisfied with any of the listed topics, he/she can contact individual lecturers depending on whether he/she would like to deal with literature, language or history. Together they will find a suitable topic. The literature search is part of the diploma project. Other literature may be assigned by the teacher depending on the nature and topic of the thesis. It is recommended to think about the thesis topic well in advance (e.g., one year) of the planned graduation and to reserve a sufficient amount of time (i.e., more than the last semester of study) to work on the thesis. The thesis is submitted to the thesis archive in the IS MU and to the drop-off room. The deadlines for submission of the bachelor thesis are: 15 December, 15 May, 30 June, depending on which exam date the student chooses. The timetable for the choosing of the topic and submitting the thesis that is obligatory for the whole faculty is given on the Faculty of Arts website. If the thesis is considered acceptable for defence, the thesis will be accepted and published. Subsequently, the supervisor's and opponent's evaluations will be placed in the thesis archive. The student will read them and prepare a brief presentation of the thesis (approx. 5, max. 10 min.) and a response to the criticisms contained in both opinions. He/she will make notes on the defence in written form.
