The student fulfils the conditions for proper completion of studies if:

  • He/she has successfully completed all compulsory subjects of the studied field
  • He/she has obtained at least a set minimum number of credits from each block of compulsory elective courses
  • He/she has obtained a total number of credits equal to 60 times the number of years of the standard duration of studies (180 credits for the Bachelor's degree, 120 credits for the follow-up Master's degree)
  • All completed exams and credits are recorded in IS/STAG

The student can only complete his/her studies and postpone the registration for the state final exam. The state final exam or its final part must be successfully taken within two years after the completion of studies (for this purpose the date of completion of studies being the last day of the academic year, in which the studies were completed, the interruption of studies does not extend this period).

Students who have not completed (closed) their studies yet must submit a printed and signed Enrolment Sheet - "Print registration form A for ac. year 2023/2024, WS and SS" (ad IS/Stag Portal, Course of Study) together with the application form. The above-mentioned documents (application, enrolment sheet) can be delivered to the Study Department in a printed form in person or by mail (possibly also scanned documents sent via e-mail. 

Please note: The last year's students do not register for the final state exam subjects (including the subject Bachelor’s/Master´s/Doctoral Thesis Defence) on the IS/STAG Portal. Students apply for the state final examination subjects only via paper application.

The student can only complete his/her studies and postpone the registration for the state final exam. The state final exam or its final part must be passed within two years from the completion of studies (for this purpose the date of completion of studies being the last day of the academic year, in which the studies were completed, the interruption of studies does not extend this period).

Please note: Even after completing the studies, the student is still a university student; he/she does not lose his/her student status and the time of his/her studies still runs), which may have an impact on possible studies fee (information on fees can be found in the UHK Statute).
