Preparation for Thesis Defense
The defence of your thesis is an important step in your studies, and it is an opportunity to present your work.
Preparation for the defence:
In order to facilitate your defence, you have to prepare a short PowerPoint presentation of your
work.
You will have 5-7 minutes to present your work (7 minutes is the maximum, you will be asked to
terminate your presentation after this limit). We expect that you cover the following points:
– Goal and purpose of your thesis;
– Structure;
– Methodology (including event. Research questions and hypotheses);
– Main findings;
– Main sources you used.
Your presentation will be followed by a discussion based on your supervisor’s and opponent’s
assessments (but any other relevant question can be raised by any member of the committee).
In the final part of your presentation, you can also prepare answers to the questions from the assessments.
We are looking forward to your presentation and following discussions
