The final exam consists of the defence of a thesis under the guidance of a supervisor on a topic consistent with the content of the Master’s programme. The thesis can also be about a topic and/or an experience made during the study course such as internship or Erasmus+ programme.

The Master thesis has a double educational value. On the one hand, it allows to evaluate the student’s learning outcomes via an empirical or theoretical research; on the other hand, it allows to evaluate the student’s level of autonomy in planning, writing, and discussing a scientific text.
