ECTS Credit Points: 40
Module Type: Compulsory
Year: 2nd

Module general description: The research objects utilized in writing a thesis are harmoniously integrated into the main orientations of the program, that is, the sustainable management and protection of the environment, the management, and control of infrastructure works, buildings, public urban spaces, landscape, cities, of productive activities and the mitigation of climate change of the adaptation to it.
From the rankings of the three-member committees, the Director of the program determines a list of potential supervisors, i.e. SEPs whose subject areas correspond to the subject areas and objectives of the curriculum, and asks them to send up to 5 subject areas or proposed titles at the beginning of each calendar year. The titles are compiled and posted on the educational platform. A file of the potential supervisors’ details and backgrounds is also posted.
Students electronically select up to 3 desired titles and the corresponding subject areas. The Director makes the allocation of supervisors to students before the beginning of each academic year, i.e. the A’ and B’ supervisors are assigned.
The theory and practice used to further deepen the student’s knowledge are based to some extent on the materials modules. However, for further deepening and acquisition of specialized knowledge and skills, the student, in collaboration with the supervisor, studies work from the relevant literature. This process usually takes 2-3 months. In total three intermediate reports are submitted to the educational platform. The 1st contains the structure and timetable proposal of the thesis, as well as the bibliography overview. The 2nd and 3rd reports are submitted approximately every two months. Each report contains the work completed up to that point. The report is posted after the supervisor’s comments have been incorporated.
Key subjects of the module are the set of all subjects of individual modules as they are written in the respective outlines.
Learning Outcomes: The students who will successfully complete the module:
