Course content
Elaboration of a diploma thesis is a necessary condition for taking the state exam in the subsequent master's studies of the Applied Physiotherapy program. The topic of the thesis is assigned by the subject department, during the 1st semester of study as part of the subject Diploma Seminar 1. The supervisor will give the student detailed instructions on how to approach the thesis from a professional and methodological point of view, as well as a processing schedule. In the first part of the project, the student familiarizes himself with relevant literature and selects suitable methods. He continuously reports on his activities to the supervisor, or other students at the seminar, which is intended for this purpose. The second part is devoted to the own research work, consultations with the supervisor, writing up the work, editing and subsequent completion of the project. The expected length of the text is 60 - 80 pages.
