Abstract
A project proposal is an extended summary of a student’s diploma paper. It is aimed at presenting a detailed plan of the research to be conducted, with a special focus on the analysis of source materials and placing the research topic within a broader academic context. A project proposal is written and defended in English and is mandatory for all students. Its defense is organized prior to the defense of the diploma. The submission of the text of a project proposal that is prepared in accordance with the requirements for academic texts is a necessary condition for the student to be allowed to take the oral examination. The project defense consists of a presentation and answers to the questions of the committee members.
