POSSIBLE RESEARCH AREAS AND POTENTIAL SUPERVISORS
(az oktatói profil/e-mail-cím megtekinthető a névre kattintva // access profiles/email addresses by clicking the names)
A szakdolgozat végső témáját a szakdolgozó és a témavezető közösen alakítja ki; ez általában időigényes folyamat, hiszen több személyes találkozást, konzultációt, együttgondolkodást igényel. Éppen ezért azt ajánljuk, hogy minél korábban keressenek meg akár több oktatót is elképzeléseikkel, ötleteikkel. Javasoljuk, hogy legkésőbb a tervezett leadási félév előtti félév elején igyekezzenek témavezetőt találni.
The topic of the thesis is developed jointly by the student and the supervisor; this is usually a time-consuming process, as it requires several personal meetings, consultations, and joint thinking. That is why we recommend that you contact instructors with your ideas and thesis topic proposals as early as possible. We recommend that you find a supervisor no later than the beginning of the semester before the semester of the intended submission.
