Parts of the final state examination and its content
The state examination has two parts:
1. Defence of the diploma thesis
2. English language and literature
The second part of the state exam consists of an oral examination of professional literature within the specialization chosen during their studies by selecting optional courses related to their diploma thesis.
The current lists of the prescribed literature for the individual specializations are available at:
http://anglistika.phil.muni.cz/studium/informace-ke-studiu/books-master-s-state-exam.
Students are obliged to choose 2 out of 4 recommended overview texts within their specialization (e.g. Bloom/Eagleton and Brantlinger/Jenks for literary-cultural studies and Crystal/Svartvik&Leech and Firbas/Vached for linguistics). Additional three books are selected from three areas so that the student covers all relevant disciplines in their professional specialization. The aim of the exam is to assess the professional knowledge of the students by means of an open dialogue, with view to their awareness of the historical context as well as the current state of knowledge in their field.
