Although education was going on during the semester online in accordance with governmental measurements, the Faculty of Engineering, in particular the Department of Engineering Management and Enterprise conducts face-to-face, in person state exams (normal, regular exams, which means you will be allowed to enter the building and sit the state exam)!
The date of the final exam is 8th and 9th June, 2021.
For deadlines and tasks please check the website "Important Information for Engineering Management MSc Graduands"!
Students having obtained the pre-degree certificate (completed all necessary subjects) will finish their studies in the Engineering Management master’s (MSc) program by taking the final exam. Final exam means the testing and evaluating of the knowledge (skill) necessary to obtain higher education qualification. In the final exam candidates prove that they can apply the acquired knowledge. Requirements of the training program contain the preconditions on taking the final exam and the procedure of the final exam itself. Final exam can be taken in the first final exam period after the award of the pre-degree certificate. Final exam is conducted in front of a final exam board. If the candidate fails to take the final exam until the termination of his/her student status, he/she is allowed to take the final exam after the termination of his/her student status according to the regulations (in relation to final exams) which applied at the time of the candidate’s first taking the final exam.
Conditions on taking the final exam:
- obtaining the credit points defined in the requirements and the curriculum of the program (120 credits),
- fulfilling requirements to which no credit points have previously been assigned (for e.g. Work and Fire Safety Course, Physical Education, internship),
- thesis reviewed and accepted by the referees.
Final exam consists of different parts:
Part 1: Defending thesis, answering to possible questions, remarks
Students review their thesis in 8-10 minutes with a ppt file. The file must be submitted together with the thesis.

The oral exam is evaluated on a five-point scale by the members of the committee. Final grade for the final exam will be decided on in a closed sitting. In case of equal votes the committee chair will decide. Final exam results will be announced by the committee chair. A note of the final exam will be taken.
