Practical training in public as well as private sector organizations will help students build their awareness of practical application of theoretical knowledge.

The subject Bachelor´s Seminar I provides students with information and guidelines needed for the preparation of the final qualification thesis and enables them to continuously consult their work on the thesis with their supervisors. The aim of the seminar is to enable students prepare and defend their qualification thesis and, building on the relevant selected specialist literature, prove their ability to apply acquired knowledge when defining and solving problems usually occurring in practice. After successful completion of the seminar, students will be able to apply the key principles of research methodology, carry out independent research and present its results in the form of final thesis in line with the theoretical, methodological and formal requirements of the discipline. Students will learn to work with texts, including foreign language texts, and with data available for secondary analysis. Furthermore, after completing the course, students will be able to process concepts and theories contained in them and find relevant answers to the problem/ task assigned. The topics of Bachelor´s theses are proposed with regard to the area of economic policy and administration and such areas where students will be able to defend the usability of produced results in practice.

Bachelor´s Seminar II follows up on the subject Bachelor´s Seminar I. During the course, students are supplied with information and guidelines needed for the preparation of the final qualification thesis and enabled to continuously consult their work on the thesis with their supervisors. Consultations primarily focus on the content and formal side of the final qualification thesis, on its structure and format requirements. Students are also familiarized with the method of final thesis evaluation as well as the presentation requirements which must be fulfilled when defending it. Generally, Bachelor´s theses verify students´ ability to independently and creatively respond to tasks arising from the requirements set for graduates from a Bachelor´s degree programme, with respect to the principles of intellectual property protection and anti-plagiarism measures. The output of the subject is that students have acquired practical skills needed for the preparation of a Bachelor´s thesis as one of the pre-conditions of successful completion of their studies.

The aim of the subject is to ensure that students complete their thesis in line with the principles of its preparation by a given deadline. Bachelor´s theses focus on processing and presenting a specialist problem from the area of economic policy and administration. Students will prove their ability to apply their knowledge when formulating and solving a practical problem, building on the selected specialist literature. Students will also prove their ability to work with texts, including foreign language texts where necessary, and possibly with data available for secondary analysis. Furthermore, they will prove their ability to process concepts and theories contained in them and find relevant answers to the problem or task assigned. If the solution to the problem requires research wok, students will prove their ability to plan research work and process its results. If the solution to the problem does not require research work, students will prepare an overview paper containing their own critical assessment as well as their own conclusions and interpretations.
