Rules of registering for diploma work topics
The schedule of announcing diploma work topics:
The head of the organizational unit prepares a list of topics and indicates the names of the
consultants. The same topic can be announced at least 3 years after its defense. If a topic is being
processed, it cannot be announced for three years after its announcement. The organizational units
forward their topic lists – for the Hungarian and foreign language students separately arranged – to
the Dean’s Office (as well as to the competent Foreign Language Secretariats) until the end of June,
where the topics will be summarized and mailed through the year responsible for the students who
are starting the 4th year in September. The foreign language students must also appoint a student as
year responsible.
Rules of registering for topics:
Each year is bound to appoint a year responsible. The foreign language students must also appoint a
representative as year responsible. This person has to be an active member of the current Student
Council. If it is not possible, the Student Council asks a student from the given year as an external
helper based on board decision. In case of the foreign language students the year responsible must
be a member of the actual foreign language students organization, if it is not possible he/she must
be a person from the year appointed by the members of the organization.
The year responsible summarizes the list of topics given by the Student Council in an electronic
table, which will be shared with all members of the year at a previously announced time for editing.
The students of the year can choose 3 topics numbered in order of favorability, so all students
choose a primary, a secondary and a tertiary topic.
The students who are preparing a TDK-work with a supervisor take precedence if they choose a
topic signed for their supervisor. The organizational units can announce topics attached to names of
students. These topics can be processed only by the attached students. Following the TDKstudents, the students who have the lowest ranking number next to the given topics will be signed
to.
If a topic is chosen by more students with the same ranking number, the student who is in a better
position for their other topics is to choose the other.; except the students involved reach agreement
by completing a waiver statement.
If the students fail to agree, the year responsible decides on the cumulative average of the students
and the student who has the highest average gets the topic.
In any other disputed question, which is not answered by this guide, the year responsible decides
following personal discussion with the students involved and with a written explanation. The year
responsible must communicate the decision to the year.

The * after the ranking number indicates:
o Szentágothai and Vizi E. competed for the 1. topic and even if they both were
about to win another topic; they reached an agreement by mutual consent
o the agreement between Eötvös and Szemere
Order of approval:
The year responsible finalizes the table for a predefined date and informs the year about the results.
All students manually fill out the consultation pages in two copies based on the table. The
consultation pages can be downloaded from the website of the faculty. On the pages, the chosen
topic and the name of the supervisor must be represented.
All four-year students must have the completed papers confirmed in the organizational unit by 30th
October (signed and sealed by the supervisor). One copy of the consultating page has to be
presented to the representative of the organizational unit, who certifies that the chosen topic is not
processed by other students. The countersigned, certified page has to be transmitted to the Dean’s
Office until the end of the 7th semester. The other copy of the consultating page is kept by the
student, which has to be signed by the supervisor at each of the obligatory consultations.
The student is allowed to write the master’s thesis from a topic out of the announced ones should
any institute agree.
