Diploma thesis start-December 21st 2013 for the 2nd year students

Dear all,

Please be informed that starting from the weekend December 20^th -22^nd  2013 you will start the thesis diploma process.

The first step will be an introduction for the thesis diploma by Prof. Peter Nientied from 9:00 AM on Saturday the 21^st December, that will explain you “how to make a thesis proposal” and the second part of the day Laura Pedata (Coordinator of the Master Programs) and other staff, will continue with all the choice of thesis topics, procedures of the thesis progress, questions etc.

The second step is that on 4^th of January you must submit the 1^st  draft proposal of the thesis.

That’s why we consider YOUR PRESENCE VERY IMPORTANT because this step is the first stage of your independent thesis work and it is an essential requirement for the development of your thesis. If you are absent you will not receive the necessary information.

Also we inform you that the same weekend(20^th -22^nd of December 2013) the “Research Methods” course – Part1 by Prof. Peter Nientied will be held, for the 1^st year master students.

We suggest you all, even if you attended the course last year, follow it again not only to refresh the knowledge in this course but also it could be very useful and helpful, considering that on January 2014 you will start thesis development and all the thesis critics (when you present your progress in front of a commission).

Hope to see you all!

Best regards!
