  • Advanced Master's Thesis
    (1) The Advanced Master's Thesis must contain original research results or original approach to a coherent portion of the subject matter in the field of study in question, on a level that meets the publishing standards in the field.
    (2) The Advanced Master's Thesis may be in the form of a set of published works of the applicant or work accepted for publication. In both cases, the applicant must prepare an accompanying introduction and commentary.
    For details, see SAR MU, Article 38.
    Note: for PhD students at FI MU:
    If an applicant submits his thesis together with     an application to have the propositions presented in the dissertation thesis recognized as his or her Advanced Master's thesis according to SZŘ MU, Article 38, Paragraph 4, and provided this application is accepted, the defense of the propositions of the thesis must take the form of the defense of the Advanced Master's thesis.
