The State Examination can be taken only after obtaining the credit and returning all materials borrowed from the Institute. If any of the above is not met, the student cannot take the State Examination. It is prohibited to carry or use any electronic device during the examination or test. The State Examination is oral. It consists of three drawn questions and one model situation. If the student did not pass one of the questions, it is a reason to end the examination and the evaluation of the whole examination is "failed". In case of any issues concerning the preparation for the State Examination students should ask for a consultation with the pertinent lecturer. Last update: Horňáková Anna, Ing., Ph.D. (07.10.2024)
