1. General information on the comprehensive final examination (SZZ)

  • A student in a Bachelor’s or Master’s programme must take the comprehensive final examination or its last part (including its potential resit)

    • at latest 1.5 years from the day when all other study requirements placed by the study programme have been met  (by these requirements understood as getting at least 180 credits in the Bachelor’s program, 120 credits in the Master’s program and completing all the courses stated in the study plan including an assessment for the BAP/DIP course). The day of meeting all other the requirements placed upon a student by the study plan is understood to be the last day of the last exam period, in which a student enrolled in the courses following his or her study plan (see The Study and Examination Code for Students of CTU in Prague, Art. 16 para. 9);
    • at the latest 6 years from the day of enrolment in the Bachelor’s study programme; or 4 years from the day of enrolment in the Master’s study programme (this period is given by the maximum study periods for the Bachelor’s or Master’s program).

  • Students who have completed their study plan (see above) and have been assigned a date for the final state examination by the dean are eligible to take the final state examination. Students are responsible for checking that they have completed their study plan and closing it in KOS; if they encounter any problems, they should contact their study officer. Students who have completed their study plan have 1.5 years to complete the SZZ, regardless of when they close their study plan.

  • The Dean, in compliance with The Dean’s regulation for final theses and comprehensive Bachelor’s and Master’s final examinations, sets a date for the comprehensive final examination for those students (which means that the comprehensive final examination may only be taken by students), who simultaneously:

    • register for the comprehensive final examination in the KOS system in the period stated by the given timetable
    • meet their study plan at least three working days before the respective date of the comprehensive final state examination. Only upon meeting the study plan, the earlier registration takes effect (in the case that a student does not meet their study plan, they do not have to apply for the registration to be cancelled).

2. Instructions for students who enrol in the Bachelor’s/Master’s project course

Students who only need to complete the Bachelor's/Master's Thesis and, if applicable, other courses listed in the given semester to fulfill their study plan, and whose total credits together with the credits for the Bachelor's/Master's Thesis subject do not exceed 30, shall always enroll in the relevant Bachelor's/Master's Thesis subject, including any other missing subjects offered in the given semester. If the student has not yet completed the project subject of their study plan, they do not need to register for the Bachelor's/Master's Thesis subject. If the total number of credits for the subjects registered in this way is less than 20, the student does not need to apply for an individual study plan. They should contact their study officer to complete the registration.

Students who, in any semester of the academic year, enroll in courses in accordance with the previous paragraph (unless they have been granted an extended deadline for submitting their final thesis after the second enrollment in the Bachelor’s/Master’s Thesis course) will, for the purpose of possible progression to the next year of study, be required to obtain in this academic year at least two-thirds of the total credits of all enrolled courses (this total does not include credits for the Bachelor’s/Master’s Thesis course if it was unsuccessfully enrolled in this academic year), provided that this value is lower than 40 credits. If students do not achieve the required number of credits for progression, their studies will be terminated due to failure to fulfill study obligations.

Resolving situations, which may arise after enrolment in the Bachelor’s/Master’s project course, can be found in the table below:

3. Failure to submit the Bachelor’s project after enrolment in the BAP/DIP course

  • If a student fails to submit BAP/DIP after the first enrolment in the BAP/DIP course, they enrol in the Bachelor’s/Master’s project course for the second time (The Study and Examination Code for Students of CTU in Prague, Art. 16 para. 4).

  • The Bachelor’s/Master’s project course may be enrolled in twice; in justified cases it is possible to apply for one make-up date for submitting the BAP/DIP after the second enrolment (”deferral of submitting the BAP/DIP“).

  • The application for a make-up date for submitting the BAP/DIP is submitted to the Dean via the Study Office on a prescribed form, which includes a copy of a valid BAP/DIP topic. The application must be recommended by the BAP/DIP supervisor and the department head.

  • The validity of the BAP/DIP topic is limited to three months following the semester, in which the student received the BAP/DIP topic (see The Dean’s regulation for final theses and comprehensive Bachelor’s and Master’s final examinations at CTU FEE, Art. 3). After this period is over, a student must apply to the Dean for the topic validity to be prolonged by one semester, poss. for a new BAP/DIP topic. Applications are always submitted via the Study Office and must be recommended by both the department head and the supervisor of the original, poss. the new project.

4. Comprehensive final examination resit; make-up date for the comprehensive final examination (SZZ)

  • Only concerns those students for whom  a date for the SZZ by the Dean was set (see details in point 1).
  • If a student does not come on the set day to take the SZZ and does not apologize in writing to the Dean within five days from that date (via the Study Office), poss. the apology is not accepted by the Dean, the student gets an F grade (and thus loses one try on the SZZ).
  • The state final examination may be repeated only once.
