Special focus on practical skills, both academic and non-academic, will be an integral part of the master’s programme. As part of their curriculum, students undergo a semester long, mandatory traineeship in a cultural or academic institution. Traineeship roles take place in museums, international research institutes, cultural foundations, and publishing houses.
- Cíle závěrečných prací
The master thesis is the opportunity for students to develop expertise in a specific topic within their field, and to put to practice their acquired skills in research, independent academic writing, and skills acquired from external institutions. The thesis should build on recent literature in the field and contain a clear and original argument of the author. The final text should fulfil all the criteria and standards expected from an academic thesis.
