At the Department of International Business, a student’s performance during the defence is expected to be accompanied by a presentation of the student´s thesis in PowerPoint. The presentation should take approximately 5 minutes and follow the required structure:

– the goal and purpose of your thesis;

– structure;

– methodology (including (according to what you used) research questions and hypotheses);

– main findings;

– main sources.

The student’s presentation is followed by a discussion based on the assessments by the academic consultant (supervisor) and the opponent (further relevant questions can be raised by any member of the commission). As a final part of the presentation, the student can also prepare slides with answers to questions from the assessments.

In order to smoothly proceed with the defence, please, send your PowerPoint presentation to the department secretary (jana.krebsova@vse.cz) the latest two days before your defence.

We look forward to your presentation and subsequent discussion.
