Final Certification

Requirements for the execution of final qualification works

A final qualification work is a work, based on the defense of which the Examination Commission (EC) decides on the award of a bachelor’s or master’s academic degree and issues a diploma.

The execution of a qualification work is an independent research conducted by the higher education seeker at the final stage of study at the University. The goal of the research is to ensure the objective control of the level of formed competencies and the ability to solve typical tasks of activity, as specified in the educational professional programs for the training of higher education seekers at the first (bachelor’s) and second (master’s) levels of higher education.

The methodological guidelines define the general requirements for the content, structure, formatting, defense, and assessment criteria of the final qualification works of higher education seekers at the first (bachelor’s) and second (master’s) levels of higher education.
