• have the exam RECOGNIZED on the basis of an exam that was done before, or on the basis of appropriate documentation (such as a publication in the foreign language; see below). This Russian essay writing is regularly conducted 3 times a year: during exam periods in January/February, May/June and September. Students must register at least 3 working days before the exam date.
• Exam registration involves
• signing up in IS and

Each topic must include a brief synopsis of about 5 lines, or 5 sentences, or 5 points. The topics must connect to the theme of the student’s dissertation and must be signed by the student’s ADVISOR in order to be accepted. At the actual sitting of the exam, the examiner will select one of the proposed topics.
