Final State Exam – end of 6th semester

The final state exam and the bachelor’s thesis defense are oral exams conducted in front of a State Examination Committee. The exam period follows the VŠE academic calendar, applying to all faculties.

Bachelor's program state exam and Bachelor's Thesis defense

  1. Bachelor’s program state exam – IDB

  2. Bachelor’s Thesis defense – 2OBP

Final Bachelor State Exam from IDS: student draws one question from the topics listed on this website. There is about half an hour preparation for the question.

Topics and required readings are in the IDB syllabus.

After you register for the State Exam course (IDB), the list of available exam dates will appear in InSIS, and you must choose and register for your exam date yourself.

Student prepares an oral presentation of their Bachelor Thesis that should be about 5 minutes long. Defence includes questions and discussion about the thesis. Student receives reviews of their thesis via InSIS four working days before the date of the defence at the latest.

The defence of the bachelor thesis takes place in front of the committee on the date for which the respective department registers the student. This depends on which department is your thesis Supervisor from. The IDS office does not plan, nor registers students for the thesis defence, as it is solely up to the departments. The departments ensure that the student defends their work in front of the committee where their supervisor participates in, in exceptional cases where the opponent of the thesis participates.

After you register for the Thesis Defence course (2OBP) and submit your thesis, the date of your defense will be assigned to you by the respective department. You cannot choose the defense date yourself.

Final state exams are classified as extra-semestral courses, but you register for them like regular courses.
