Graduation Thesis Presentation (Faculty of Humanities)

What is the Graduation Thesis Presentation?

Faculty of Humanities Graduation Thesis Presentation Session
Fourth-year students in the Faculty of Faculty of Humanities present highly polished and unique theses as a culmination of their four years of study. Themes are diverse, including literature, linguistics, history, art, architecture, sports, philosophy, and folklore, and each year a unique collection of theses is presented. There are also many different presentation methods. Presenters consider how to communicate effectively, making full use of slides and materials, and some students even give their presentations entirely in a foreign language.
