Learning outcomes
The course makes the students familiar with basic principles of an independent theoretical work with professional literature within the scope of the degree thesis. Students will learn to consult their work with the seminar facilitator, thesis supervisor and experts in general. They also learn to lay their professional focus on issues recommended by experts.
