The Bachelor's and Master's thesis assignment protocol (docx, pdf, available in the Forms for students) must be completed and submitted no later than during the 3rd semester for Bachelor's programmes and during the 1st semester for Master's programmes. The assignment protocol should be prepared for the student by the supervisor. Students can consult the chosen supervisor in advance with the head of the department (Ján Štěrba), especially in the case of external supervisors which are not employed at FSc USB. The prepared protocol should be electronically signed by the supervisor and the student (instructions for a certified USB e-signature here). The student then obtains the electronic signatures of the relevant persons, except the head of the department and the study programme guarantor, and sends them to the secretariat of the Department of Chemistry (K. Žižková - zizkok00@prf.jcu.cz ). The procedure for obtaining a simple electronic signatures in PDF:
We have prepared an aid for you to fill in the assignment protocol:
We prepared some instructions for students preparing their Bachelor's and Masters theses. DO NOT forget to include the "thesis declaration" - you can find the actual version of the Faculty website (in Information for Students) and also consult your supervisor on how to prepare the thesis.

For students working on their MASTERS theses in Linz:
even though you work in Linz, you need to fill in the Assignment of master thesis and submit it in Budweis (Study Dept.) with all the signatures - this is needed for the subsequent uploading of your finished thesis. You can do this anytime during your study, but the simplest and best will be, if you submit the assignment as soon as possible; you will not need to think about it when you are finishing.
When you finish your thesis, you need to upload your thesis in the STAG system.
Bachelor students and master students working in Budweis - of course, you need to submit the assignment as well. The sooner, the better. And of course, also upload your thesis into the STAG system.
For students of the cross-border study programmes who had their studies terminated by the University
Based on the Dean's measure D116 - On the specification of conditions for the admission of students to the cross-border study programmes, students who had their studies terminated will be re-accepted into the study only after passing an entrance exam. This also applies to students who remain students of JKU and are re-applying to USB!
See Study regulations.
If a compulsory or compulsory elective course (under the Department of Chemistry) is taught outside České Budějovice, the student can apply for reimbursement of the costs. Please send the documents related to the study to the secretariat of the Department of Chemistry (K. Žižková - zizkok00@prf.jcu.cz ).
