Course detail

Dissertation Seminar 1

FaVU-3SDP1Acad. year: 2024/2025

The Dissertation Seminar is the primary platform for regular meetings between the supervisor and the student. The main goal of the seminar is to provide ongoing guidance in the development of the dissertation project—both its textual component and the creative output (depending on the specific academic profile of the doctoral student). The content of the seminar always reflects the current phase of the study and follows the individual study plan accordingly. While the early semesters focus primarily on heuristics, involving activities such as recommending relevant literature and other resources (such as various archives, institutions, and specific individuals) and consulting on the findings achieved so far, the later semesters gradually shift attention towards the student’s own research and work on the dissertation itself.
