Explanation of prerequisites

• A prerequisite code not enclosed in brackets: ‘strong’ prerequisite; must be completed successfully at least one semester before the course in question for which it is a prerequisite

• A prerequisite code enclosed in brackets: ‘weak’ prerequisite; can be taken in the same semester with the course in question for which it is a prerequisite, but must be completed successfully for the course for which it is a prerequisite to be valid.

• A prerequisite code with a ‘=’ sign: We recommend that the specified course be taken simultaneously.

• *: Course that can be taken only after the background courses have been completed.

Foreign language requirements:

The prerequisites for the MA degree include either (a) a combined (written as well as oral) state exam at the advanced level (C1) for one foreign language (alternatively a high school final examination or a certificate at the advanced level); or (b) an additional combined (written as well as oral) state exam at the intermediate level (B2) (alternatively, a high school final examination or a certificate at the intermediate level) in a language different from the one used to fulfill the language requirement for the bachelor’s degree.

MA

THESIS AND FINAL EXAMINATION REQUIREMENTS

:

Thesis writing:

Requirements concerning the MA thesis that go beyond those regulated by the Humanities Faculty are specified in the thesis regulations of the Institute of Philosophy.

Formal requirements:

Length: minimum 100,000 characters, maximum 200,000 characters at a spacing of 1.5 and font size 12. One copy must be submitted bound, another stapled. MA theses should also be submitted electronically either on a CD at the secretary of the Institute of Philosophy, or in pdf format via the course code for thesis writing within the elearning system.

The title page of the thesis must include the name of the author; the title of the MA thesis in Hungarian as well as in the language of the degree program; the name of the university, the faculty as well as the major; and the date of submission of the thesis.

Requirements concerning the content of the thesis:

The thesis consists of papers as chapters on a choice of topic related to several lecture course topics. The thesis should incorporate the required readings for these lecture courses as well as the core foreign-language literature on the chosen topic.

Assessment:

Assessment is on a five-grade scale. During the evaluation, the referee must take into account whether the author has adhered to the prescribed requirements concerning content and form. The factors relevant for grading are: scientific achievement, familiarity with the literature as well as the ability to apply it in a professional manner, structured presentation and apt application of the results, potential topics for further research.

(3)

Requirements for the MA degree:

The final examination is conducted orally.

The most central part of the examination is the defense of the MA thesis. Students must prove that they have mastered the training requirements as well as the most important bits of knowledge prescribed in the curriculum, and they must also show that they are capable of explaining the thesis in conversation, in a nuanced and precise manner.

Beyond the defense, the final examination also covers a detailed account of two lecture-course subjects that had previously been chosen by the student.

Evaluation and grading of final examination:

Assessment is on a five-grade scale. The examiners evaluate the expertise of the examinee in scientific areas related to the MA thesis topic, and also assess the professional background of the examinee along with his/her ability to carry out scientific discourse.

P

REREQUISITES FOR THE FINAL EXAMINATION

:

The prerequisites for the final examination are:

• the completion of the study unit list and exams specified in the curriculum for the major (with the exception of the thesis, the required foreign language state exam, and the final examination)

• with the exception of the credits for thesis work, the fulfillment of all training and completion requirements, and as a result of these, the receipt of a final examination for the major

• a certificate stating that the student has returned all property borrowed from the university.

D

EGREE CERTIFICATE

The degree certificate states the mathematical average (rounded to the closest whole number) of the grade of the thesis and the grades received at the final examination.
