Learning outcomes
The course is a core subject forming the third pillar of the study programme, focusing on the development of professional skills and general abilities of the student, specifically on the student's ability to present the acquired knowledge and skills in a scientific text or in a professional scientific forum. The course is designed as a four-semester course, with the demands of student performance in the course increasing as the semesters progress. The course is designed for students specializing in European and International Law. During the semester, as in the second and third semesters of the course, the student is required to choose a topic for his/her scientific paper in cooperation with his/her lecturer (to identify the problem to be solved) and to prepare the scientific paper in such a way that it is eligible for presentation at a scientific conference (ability to present the solution to the chosen problem). Active participation in the conference includes the written version of the paper and its publication in the conference proceedings or other conference output in the event that the conference proceedings will not be prepared, this obligation may exceptionally be waived in agreement with the lecturer. At this stage of the study, the student must have already completed the core part of his/her dissertation. Therefore, in order to successfully complete the course, the student is required to submit to his/her lecturer a complete dissertation passage of at least 50 pages of text.
The student's ability to present acquired knowledge and skills in a scientific text and on a professional scientific forum.
