ORGANIZATION OF THE FINAL STATE EXAMINATION
BACHELOR DEGREE IN PHYSIOTHERAPY
1
Students are allowed to take the state final examination after they have submitted their
bachelor thesis. The date the final examination is held, is given by the study department
and will be announced in time.
2
Students are required to submit their master thesis in an electronic form, and with a brief
summary in the Czech and English language.
3
The defence of the thesis and final state examination are held within one day, following
one another. Students are assessed by all board members, in the presence of the consultant
and opponent of the thesis. The thesis must be presented in the PowerPoint program. If the
thesis has not been defended successfully, the student is not allowed to continue with the
final examination.

If the examination board declares the thesis has been accepted, students continue with the
final examination immediately. Students are asked concrete questions according to the
announced list of topics in individual subjects.
5
The practical examination is organized according to the list of students, so that it followed
the theoretical part (according to updated examination rules).
