Final State Examination at the Department of Regional Economics
Final state examination (FSE) dates and the date for thesis submission are set out by the Schedule of the Academic Year.
The final state examination for the full-time master's degree programme Regional Development and Tourism will take place on June 17 - 19, 2025.
Final state examination progress
The final state examination consists of the two following, separately assessed parts called Master's Thesis Defence and subject Academic discussion.
Everything will start with your presentation of the thesis. You are expected to prepare a powerpoint presentation and bring it on a flash drive so that we can upload it on the computer in the examination room. Expect to have no more than 15 minutes of time for your thesis presentation. So, concentrate on the practical part, concentrate on your own contribution, and explicitly focus on your own analyses and results. This will be followed by oral presentation of the evaluations by examination board (5 minutes). Two evaluations are being written, one is the evaluation of the supervisor, and another is from the reader. Discussion over the evaluations will be the next step (10 minutes). You will be asked to react to the evaluations, it is better to have your arguments supported by one or two ppt slides, since you will know the questions beforehand.
This is the second part of the exam. It is focused on the topic of the defended thesis and its content will cover the compulsory courses of the given study program. It is in the form of a round-table discussion where you can expect different questions connected with the thesis based on your gained knowledge from your field of study. The questions are asked by individual members of the commission and you will not know these questions beforehand, obviously, so the task is to be able to react right away. Expect this part to last 15 minutes.
The chairman of the Final state examination committee may decide in individual cases to shorten or extend the above-mentioned time limits if this is necessary or expedient given the course of the examination. The FSE results are announced to all students at the same time at the end of the day!
