S/he will receive the certificate only after s/he hands in the thesis at the secretariat of the department, which supervises the relevant study branch. The secretary of the committee will ask the student to do so without undue delay and as soon as possible after the date of the FSE.

By 15. 4. 2025 at the latest, you can submit an Application form – Application to reschedule the FSE to the final state examinations to the Dean of the faculty with the opinion of the supervisor of the thesis, guarantor of the study program (or his deputy) and the head of the supervising department stating a serious reason.

The student is obliged to submit a bachelor’s thesis by the deadlines given by the Schedule for the respective academic year of FBME. Should a student fail to submit the bachelor’s thesis in the given period and does not make use of the possibility pursuant to art. 7 (7.4) of this Directive, see the above, the study department will deregister him/her from the FSE (this does not apply to the resit and substitute FSE dates set by the Dean).

The student registers the bachelor’s thesis as a course in a semester, in which he/she is supposed to graduate. The supervisor of the thesis grants an assessment for the bachelor’s thesis, which meets all formal requirements. In exceptional cases, e.g., the absence of the thesis supervisor due to an illness, or business trip, and in the case of external supervisors, the assessment is granted by the supervisor of the program, or his deputy (or a deputy for the given specialisation if the study program is divided into specialisations) or by the head of the department supervising the program, or his deputy. This assessment must be recorded in KOS. Based on this registration, the student can submit the bachelor’s thesis. Generally, the rule applies that in the case of external supervisors the assessment must be recorded in KOS by the secretariat of the relevant department supervising the program, upon their information. If the thesis supervisor (extern) is absent, or in the case of failure to receive the opinion, the supervisor of the program, his/her deputy , or the head of the relevant department supervising the program, assess the formal requirements based on which the assessment is granted or not granted in KOS. Simultaneously, there applies a rule that the level of elaboration must not be conditioned by granting or non-granting assessment. The quality of elaboration is assessed solely upon the reviews of the supervisor and the reviewer. A student, who was granted an F in both reviews, has the possibility to defend such work before the final state examination board.

The copy includes an unsigned assignment, which the student downloads from the PROJECTS database in PDF format, see procedure here. It also contains a Declaration of Originality and the Use of AI (Artificial Intelligence), which the student confirms and downloads from KOS (the statement will be available in KOS after 17 February 2025). The printed version must be an exact copy of the electronic version.

Final state examinations (FSE) for the academic year 2024/2025#final

Pursuant to article 7 of the Directive of the dean concerning bachelor’s and follow-up master’s study programs the final state examination  consists of the following: defence of the bachelor thesis in case of a bachelor study program or defence of a master thesis in case of a master study program. There is also the oral examination from the thematic areas of the theoretical background and the profile subjects of the branch studied.

The FBME Dean sets, based on the proposal of the head of the department supervising the study program oral examination topics that will be published by the end of the teaching part of the semester preceding the FSEs at the latest.

The student takes the examination from two, three, or four thematic areas, according to the studied program. A student enrols for FSEs through KOS during the enrolment to the semester, in which the FSEs take place, (manual here) through KOS by 14. 2. 2025 at the latest – after this date the access to KOS will be automatically blockked. Only a student who enrolled a subject called Bachelor/Master thesis can apply for the FSE. Both the date of the FSE and the topics (if the study program allows that – otherwise each line offers only one possibility) can be selected in the application form.

Some information about KOS:

  • Open the folder „Final thesis“ →  „Final state exam“.
  • Select your topics for the FSE (2, 3 or 4 according to the study program).
  • Select a date of the FSE and confirm it by „Enroll“at the right end of the relevant line.

The condition for admission to the final state examination is that compulsory courses and elective course from a compulsory group of courses are passed according to the study plan of the relevant study program. The student must also gain at least:

  • 180 credits during the studies including a bachelor’s thesis plus completing internships in the bachelor’s study program Biomedical Technology.
  • 120 credits during the studies, including the master’s thesis in case of the follow-up master’s study program Biomedical and Clinical Engineering.

You must close all study obligations in KOS. No result must be missing in KOS in order to close the studies (by 5. 6. 2025 – close all study obligations for the FSE and study plan via KOS).

A few comments to KOS:

Open the folder „Other" – „Inspection of the study plan”. Check of fulfilment of the study plan is run automatically. If the check runs smoothly, it is possible to close the plan and confirm it by the button „ Inspection of the study plan “. In case the check did not run successfully, the button does not even appear and it is possible to find the reason (usually missing grade from some subject). The check of the fulfilment of the study plan can be run at any time and for an unlimited number of times. The student is summoned to the specific date of the final state examinations (date, room number and time) through the notice boards and web pages of the faculty. These are arranged by the branch supervising departments at least 10 days prior to the final state examinations in the given branch (bachelor study program by 30. 5. 2025, master study programs by 6. 6. 2025).  At least 5 days prior to the final state examinations the student has the opportunity to acquaint oneself with the reviews of the reviewer and supervisor in order to prepare oneself - through the system PROJECTS. A day before the final state examinations the student has to check the web or a notice board of the supervising department to see the updated schedule of the Final state examinations so that he/she knows exactly when his/her turn is. (There may be some last minute changes made for example if someone gets ill etc.) You will assemble (of course in decent clothes) in a room designated by the supervising department in the schedule of the final state examinations where the secretary of your examination board will pick you up.
The secretary will check your identity in the similar way as for the exam (pursuant to SER Article 8): valid ID card, passport, driving licence, student card. You all have to appear at least one and half-hour before your exam. 
The presentation and the defence of your bachelor/master thesis will be first and then there will be the oral exam from thematic topics. The board will consult quickly and will inform you if you passed or failed the exam. They will inform you about the grades from the individual parts of the final state examination and you will sign a report that you were informed about the results.

For the academic year 2024/2025, the following applies: The Dean of FBME declares, based on proposal of the head of the department supervising the study program oral examination topics that will be published at by the end of the tutorial part of a semester preceding the FSEs at the latest and students have to apply for the final state examinations on the day of enrolment to the summer semester i.e. by 14. 2. 2025 at the latest!
