General information on Bachelor and Master thesis
Your thesis supervisor is your main point of support throughout the process. You can consult them about anything related to your thesis—writing, content, structure, formatting, citations, or even the defense. If you’re unsure about something and cannot find the answer elsewhere, don’t hesitate to ask.
It is important to agree in advance on how your cooperation will work, including:
- The scope and time requirements of the practical part,
- Deadlines for individual stages,
- Regular check-ins or consultations.
Clear expectations and communication will help you avoid last-minute stress. Keep in mind that you will usually need to adapt to your supervisor’s availability.
Tip! To stay organized and productive, consider using task-planning strategies or productivity tools. You can find useful recommendations in the Learning, Mental Wellbeing and Life Management e-learning course.
