Diploma Thesis

A student who fails to submit their Diploma Thesis by the specified deadline is required to submit, no later than  October 26, 2026, a request for an extension of the diploma thesis submission deadline. The request must be duly justified and approved by the diploma thesis’ supervisor.

If the student subsequently submits the diploma thesis within the alternative submission period from November 9, 2026 to November 16, 2026, they will be able to undertake the diploma thesis defence within the prescribed period ending on January 15, 2027, provided that the required minimum period between submission of the diploma thesis and its defence is observed.

If the student fails to meet this alternative deadline, the diploma thesis defence will only be possible in August 2027. The submission deadline for defence to be defended in August will be announced at a later date.

Please note:
We would like to inform all students that, in the sixth year of study, Diploma Work 4 is a compulsory course for General Medicine students and Diploma Work 5 is a compulsory course for Dentistry students.

A student will not be scheduled for the diploma thesis defence unless they have obtained credits for all prerequisite courses.

Before uploading your diploma thesis to AIS2, please check that the title of your diploma thesis is identical to the title recorded in AIS2.

If there is a discrepancy, please amend the title of your diploma thesis so that it corresponds to the assignment recorded in AIS2. If you identify a discrepancy that cannot be resolved in this manner, please contact your diploma thesis supervisor without delay, or, where appropriate, the secretariat of the relevant department, so that the title of your diploma thesis can be aligned with the approved assignment recorded in AIS2.

The accuracy of the diploma thesis’ title is also important when completing your studies. Given that the data included in graduation documents (Diploma, Diploma Supplement) are transferred directly from the AIS system, it is extremely important that the titles of diploma theses are grammatically correct:

• Diploma thesis titles should be written without a dot at the end, both in Slovak and in English.
• Diploma thesis titles in English should be written with capital letters at the beginning of all significant words, except for conjunctions and prepositions, which should begin with a lowercase letter.

Checking the information in advance will help you avoid any potential discrepancies and complications.

Final diploma theses are prepared and submitted in electronic form.

By  October 25, 2026, students are required to upload an electronic version of their diploma thesis to the AIS2. After this deadline, it will no longer be possible to upload the diploma thesis to AIS2.

A student may upload the diploma thesis only after receiving permission from their diploma thesis supervisor and after all diploma thesis assessments have been entered into AIS2.

The final thesis must be submitted in PDF format and must be convertible to text (save the document as a PDF directly in Word, or use the instructions for converting text to PDF).

The maximum file size for uploading to AIS2 is 50 MB.

The file must not be password-protected and must be convertible into plain text. Before submitting the file, please test whether it can be converted into text using the text conversion tester.

Please note: Article 3, point 2 of the draft licence agreements: Student shall indicate that their diploma thesis is to be made available without a postponement period. If the student requests a postponement period in the draft licence agreements, they must provide justification for the requested extension of the postponement period. Any extension of the postponement period must be approved by the Dean, pursuant to Article 8, point 3 of the Internal Regulation of Comenius University No. 32/2023.

Instructions for submitting the diploma thesis via AIS2

A student may mark DT as final ONLY ONCE! Once this step has been completed, the diploma thesis is exported for an originality check and cannot be uploaded a second time.
