BA in English Studies: Final Exam
Applies to students who started their studies in or later than 2017.
The final exam consists of only one element, the thesis defence. In the evaluation process, the candidate answers four questions related to their thesis:
- The supervisor and the reader ask two questions each. The first question is closely connected to some aspect of the thesis. The second question refers to the broader context of the thesis topic (historical, cultural, or theoretical for theses written in the area of literature and culture; theoretical and methodological for those in the area of linguistics or applied linguistics). Answering these questions requires thorough preparation using particular bibliographical sources recommended by the professors reviewing the thesis.
- The thesis defence, together with the question referring to the thesis and the question referring to the broader context, bear equal weight in the algorithm used for calculating the candidate’s final grade.
