Development and defending of Master Thesis is the final stage od the programme following the theoretical courses and passing of exams. Master thesis (60-80 pages lengths) is the student's independent scientific research in the selected branch of philosophy, containing new ideas and corresponding to the criteria of scientific publication.
The aim of the Master Thesis is to demonstrate synthesis of knowledge and skills acquired during the studies and appropriate use of them.
The course tasks are following:
1. to select, read and critically analyze literature relevant to the theme;
2. to elaborate the conception of the Master Thesis and to argument new approach/ideas;
3. to use relevant methods and scientific approaches to the topic.
Master Thesis should be developed in close cooperation with an academic supervisor and successfully defended at the examination commission's open session.
Course will be delivered in Latvian.
