Undergraduate Thesis
Last semester students have to complete their thesis. The thesis topics are announced by the Department Secretariat at the beginning of each semester
Students register and undertake an undergraduate thesis subject after previously completing a special form available for this purpose from the Department's secretariat or found on the Department's website.
The thesis statement is valid for one semester. After the end of this semester -and since the thesis has not been delivered to the Department Secretariat- the student is obliged to request the renewal of the validity of the thesis for one more semester. THeses which are not completed after this extension are considered as not given.
A thesis topic can be jointly assigned to a group of up to two students with simultaneous assignment of the work.
After the completion of the thesis and its approval by the supervising professor, the thesis is submitted to the Secretariat (through the protocol office) and then a date is set for the evaluation of the thesis during which the thesis is presented by the student on a three-member committee of professors, in which teachers relevant to the subject under consideration participate. In any case, one of them is the supervising professor of the thesis.
The members of the committee decide by majority on the grade to be given to the examinee, and the relevant grade form is submitted to the Secretariat
The thesis grade is taken into consideration during the calculation of the final degree and corresponds to 20 ECTS.
In the Accounting & Finance department, theses are presented on the last ten days of the following month following their submission. The thesis presentation is open to all students who wish to attend.
Student internship
