Dean FPH, Prof. Hnilica, On The Abolition Of Bachelor’s Theses Interview With Forbes

Incoming freshmen joining our faculty in the winter semester of 2024/25 will no longer be required to write traditional written bachelor’s theses. Instead, they will be replaced by what is termed a “bachelor’s project.” This project can be completed in various ways, depending on the student’s preferences and capabilities. Options include undertaking a professional internship in combination with a detailed report from a foreign study stay, participating in a faculty research project, or executing a specific entrepreneurial project.

“The  unexpectedly rapid implementation of AI in our lives came, signaling that it was time to change the system in a way that aligns with the faculty’s long-term strategy. This means approaching the conclusion of bachelor’s studies practically, providing much less room for plagiarism, and allowing students to take away far more useful experiences into their lives,” stated Dean FPH, Prof. Jiří Hnilica, in an interview with Forbes.
