Evaluation: Upon completion of the Master Thesis, a three-member Examination Committee is formed for the evaluation of the work, one member of which is the supervisor.
The examination includes in addition to the evaluation of the written text, [1] an oral presentation of the Master Thesis before the three-member Examination Committee at a date and place determined. The presentation is public, is announced at least three (3) days ago on the website of the MSc and all teaching / students of the MSc are informed. The presentations of the diploma theses take place three times a year in a special workshop in a maximum of 2 weeks after the end of the corresponding examination period (February, June, September). The delivery of the thesis to the 3-member examination committee for evaluation takes place at least 10 days before the presentation. After the support of the Master Thesis, a report is drawn up stating the individual grade of each member of the three-member Examination Committee, the average score as well as any comments or remarks. The Master Thesis is approved with a grade greater than or equal to six (6). Following its approval, the thesis final submission follows and its posting in the AUTh Scientific Repository.
