Preparation for Defences of Theses

At the Department of International Business, a student’s performance during the defence is expected to be accompanied by a presentation of the student´s thesis in PowerPoint. The presentation should take approximately 5-7 minutes and follow the required structure:

– the goal and purpose of your thesis;

– structure;

– methodology (including (according to what you used) research questions and hypotheses);

– main findings;

– main sources.

The student’s presentation is followed by a discussion based on the assessments by the academic consultant (supervisor) and the opponent (further relevant questions can be raised by any member of the commission). As a final part of the presentation, the student can also prepare slides with answers to questions from the assessments.

We look forward to your presentation and subsequent discussion.
