Thesis defense

Currently, defenses may be held in person or by videostream.

Your thesis examination will consist of a presentation of your thesis project (about 20 minutes), followed by questions from the examiners and the audience. The discussion part takes about 30 minutes  - you will be questioned about your thesis work and the research field.

You or your supervisor should return the defense protocol, with grades and signatures of all examiners and the supervisor, to the SSC. Only then, the SSC will be able to proceed with the graduation documents, which will be send to you by email.
