Course objectives
(1) In the thesis, the student submits the results of their work that were created during the studies of the doctoral programme. The supervisor and the head of the designated workplace are responsible for providing the student with suitable conditions necessary to meet the requirements of the doctoral programme.
(2) The thesis must contain original results, either already published or accepted for publication. Detailed requirements for the publication of results and the extent of the thesis will be designated by the Doctoral Board. These requirements must be published in the public section of the MU/faculty websites. A file of already published works or works accepted for publishing to the press or other type of publication which are related to the given field and have a comprehensive introduction to the issue and commentary by the student may also be recognized as a thesis.
(3) The thesis is written in the language in which the doctoral programme is conducted, or in a language which is specified for this purpose in the characteristics of the doctoral programme. For the doctoral programme conducted in Czech language, the faculty may issue a declaration that allows to submit the thesis in Slovak language. The thesis may always be submitted in English unless it is explicitly forbidden in the characteristics of the programme. With the consent of the Doctoral Board it is also possible to submit the thesis in a different language.
(4) The thesis is always submitted electronically via IS MU. If determined by the Doctoral Board, the thesis is also submitted in printed form. The thesis must also comply with the following requirements:
(a) If it is determined that the thesis should be submitted in printed form, the cover and the title page must have a uniform layout, the work must have a uniform format common to the faculty and all copies must be hard-bound. The number of copies is determined by the Doctoral Board.
b) If the student submits the results of collective scientific work in which they participated for the thesis defense, the parts of the student's work must be clearly marked. A statement by the supervisor confirming the student's authorship and evaluating their contribution must be attached.
Learning outcomes

- research autonomously within the context of the field and present original results of their work,
- defend the conclusions of their research during the debate.
