ASSUMPTIONS OF THE MASTER'S DIPLOMA THESIS
The assumptions of these regulations are based on the following:
Law of Higher Education of 27.07.2005 (Journal of Laws 2005 no. 164 pos. 1365,
with later amendments),
Regulations of Studies for AGH University of Science and Technology (§ 24).
One requirement of second-degree studies is the realization and documentation of a
master's diploma thesis, performed individually or as part of a team of students (at most 2
people under conditions defined later in this document). The master's thesis should have a
research character and show the skills of the student(s) to formulate a research problem
and to solve it using scientific methods.
The master's diploma thesis is carried out under the direction of a supervisor, who is
an academic teacher: professor or assistant professor with the scientific level of doctor.
The Faculty Dean may give permission to a doctor or specialist from outside the Institute
to direct the master's diploma thesis. After selection of the supervisor and agreement as to
the subject and range of the master's diploma thesis, the student is obliged to formally
announce the subject of the master's diploma thesis, which is then confirmed by the
Faculty Dean.
When setting the subject of the work, it is desirable to take into consideration the
interests of the student(s), the support available to carry out the work, and the nature of the
foreseeable employment. The work should be based on the literature related to the subject
and represent an independent analysis of the selected research issue. Formulation of the
subject should have the character of a problem.
The choice of subject for the master's diploma thesis is conducted by the
Department which issues the diploma. In order to confirm the selected master's diploma
thesis subject, the student completes the Application form for the master's diploma thesis
subject (Attachment 1), The form signed by the thesis supervisor is required for enrolment
to Semester III and is submitted by the student in the Faculty Dean's Office. It is possible
to carry out the master's thesis under the supervision of a worker from another Department
with the consent of the Head of the Department that issues the diploma.
The signature of the Department Head on the collective Application form for the
master's diploma thesis subject confirms his/her consent of the proposed work under the
Page 4
guidance of the Department's workers or other authorized persons. If the Department Head
does not provide consent, the student, together with the supervisor, corrects the subject of
the master's diploma thesis and re-submits the Application form for the master's diploma
thesis subject for acceptance by the Department Head.
In exceptional circumstances, it is possible to modify or change the selected subject
of the master's diploma thesis during its realization. A change of the thesis subject can be
performed with the consent of the supervisor and Faculty Dean. The student submits an
application in the IMIR Faculty Dean's Office to the Dean to change the subject of the
thesis, together with an explanation as to why, and the approval of the supervisor.
A condition for submitting the master's diploma thesis is the performance by the
student of research or experimental tasks defined by the supervisor, preparation of master's
diploma thesis documentation (when the work is conducted by a team of students, the
documentation must clearly indicate the input of each one) and a positive opinion of the
supervisor concerning the master's diploma thesis. The student will be informed of the
guidelines concerning the editing of master's diploma thesis documentation in the diploma
thesis seminars conducted in Semester III. Complete realization of the master's diploma
thesis should take place by the final day of lectures in Semester III, according to the
organisation of the academic year announced by the order of the AGH Rector.
In the event of a long-term absence of the thesis supervisor, which could delay the
realization of the master's diploma thesis and, as a result, threaten its punctual completion,
the Faculty Dean may designate a new person to take over the duties of the supervisor. A
change of supervisor may represent the basis for postponing the date for submitting the
master's diploma thesis. The date for taking the diploma examination in such cases will be
set by the Faculty Dean individually at the request of the student or supervisor of the
master's diploma thesis. In the event of the student not submitting the thesis in time, the
AGH Study Regulations shall apply. If the student repeats Semester III, the Faculty Dean
requests the opinion of the supervisor, under whose supervision the thesis was carried out,
and takes a decision concerning the possibility to continue the thesis work or to change the
thesis subject.
Before the final exam, the master's diploma thesis is reviewed by the supervisor and
a reviewer. The reviewers of the master's diploma thesis are nominated by the Faculty
Dean from among the academic teachers of AGH:
Page 5
with a PhD – for work conducted under the direction of a supervisor with the
level of professor or associate professor;
with the level of professor or associate professor – for work conducted under
the direction of a supervisor with a PhD.
The thesis review (Attachment 2) must contain an assessment based on the merits of
the performed research task, as well as an evaluation of the presented documentation. With
the aim of avoiding plagiarism, fragments of the documentation may be controlled with the
use of verifying computer programs or compared with texts of other publications.
Evaluation of the master's diploma thesis documentation takes into consideration the
following:
suitability of the contents to the subject defined in the title;
structure of documentation – division of contents, order of sections, full coverage,
etc.;
evaluation of the work;
level of innovation in the problem field;
selection and usage of sources;
formal side of documentation – accuracy of the language, use of editing techniques,
list of contents, references;
ways of using the thesis – publication, access for institutions, source material.
When the master's diploma thesis is conducted jointly by two students, the
evaluation presented by the supervisor may be divided to differentiate the input of each of
the authors – depending on their input and achieved results. During the presentation of the
work, the active participation of both co-authors is required, which will enable the separate
evaluation of the work's authors.
The schedule for realization of the master's diploma thesis and details of the
organization of the diploma examination are regulated by the decisions of the Faculty
Dean.
Graduates who meet the following conditions: submitted their diploma thesis
and took their diploma examination at the planned time, obtained an average from
their studies over 4.75, and obtained an evaluation of very good for both their thesis
and diploma examination, can be awarded a distinction by the Commission. This is
equal to: “summa cum laude” in traditional academic terminology.
Page 6
PROCEDURE FOR SUBMITTING THE DIPLOMA THESIS IN THE DEAN'S
OFFICE
DIPLOMA EXAMINATION
One condition for completing studies is passing the diploma examination.
A student is allowed to take the diploma examination when he/she has:
a) passed the whole planned program of subjects and practice;
b) registered the diploma thesis;
c) submitted all the documents required by the Dean:
- record card (the record card should include practice confirmed by the Department
stamp or signature of the practice tutor)
- exam cards,
- transcript of records,
- current diploma card.
The term of the examination is set by the Dean or a person authorised by the Dean
to do so. Information concerning the location and time of the diploma examination is
placed on the information board in front of the Dean's Office and in the Department that
issues the diploma.
The diploma thesis examination consists of a presentation of the thesis and
discussion of the work, as well as an assessment of the student's level of knowledge from
the area of studies (in accordance with the Regulations of Studies). It is recommended for
the presentation to be conducted using audio-visual aids. The Dean may permit the student
to use separate forms to present the diploma thesis in various specialisations. The
supervisors of the work are obliged to inform the student about the form of presenting the
work during the examination.

Page 9
EDITING GUIDELINES
When writing the master's diploma thesis documentation, it is important to use
standardized editing principles. Their uniform character is designed to help in the efficient
analysis of the project's documentation, which is submitted for evaluation by the
supervisor and reviewer. The uniform editing of the documentation concerns the format of
particular elements, such as: font name and size, paragraph breaks, and margins. The
following editing rules are used:
Tab. 4.1. Parameters of settings in interim project or diploma thesis
Parameter Chosen setting Notes
Font name Times New Roman Paragraph style,
first paragraph break: 10 mm
Font size
16 p. bold
14 p. bold
12 p. bold 12 p.
10 p.
In the main headings, e.g. 1, 2, 3
In sub-headings, e.g. 2.3, 4.5
In further sub-headings, e.g. 6.1.7
The main text
Descriptions of figures and tables
Space between
lines
1.5 lines in the
main text
If the work is exceptionally large, 1 line can
be used, however, this decreases the
readability of the text
1 line in all headings and sub-headings
Margin size
A4
(210 x 297 mm)
Upper 25 mm, lower 25 mm, right 25 mm,
left 35 mm (or 25 mm + 10 mm on the
cover).
Orientation Vertical
Some pages may be horizontal. The
description under figures and tables for
horizontal pages should be on the right-
hand side of the sheet.
The documentation of the master's diploma thesis (introduction + sections +
summary) should contain between 70 and 120 pages. It should consist of no less than 4
and no more than 7 sections.
A necessary formal requirement is abidance with the correct structure of
documentation: the weight and scale of the problems dealt with in particular sections
should be proportional to the whole size. It is advisable that the size of the description
of the work undertaken independently by the diploma candidate should be at least
half of the whole size of the documentation of the diploma thesis project.
Page 10
The author of the master's diploma thesis should pay particular attention to:
- highlighting the existence of other possible solutions to the presented problem/task,
- a description and explanation of the reasoning behind the selected method for solving the
problem following the principle of - “I say how and why”
- the fact that the presented solution does not exhaust the subject and may be a basis for
further consideration,
- a description of the difficulties in realizing the project,
- a critical evaluation of the results obtained during tests.
Objects in the master's diploma thesis documentation
Tables
For the presentation of written sets, as well as those containing figures and symbols,
tables are used. Tables should be placed as close as possible to the relevant text and
numbered in order in the given section. It is preferable to avoid abbreviations in column
headings. Units should be placed in a line directly under the column heading. Tables are
numbered with Arabic numerals and should contain a reference to the main section as well
as to the order of tables in the section. The table title, preceded by Tab. and the number,
should be placed above the table (Tab. 1) with the font size 10. Before the table
description, there should be a space of one line. If the table contains information from a
literature source, the source should appear directly in the table description at the end. If the
table needs to be moved to the next page, its Arabic numerals are located under the column
heading and these numbers transfer to the next page. Tables are placed in the centre of the
text, however, the text in the table should be:
- for column headings – bold and centred,
- in the case of left-hand side labels – aligned to the left-hand edge of the column,
- for numbers – aligned to the right-hand edge of the column,
for other spaces – centred.
Figures
Page 11
Graphics (figures, photographs and charts) should be placed in the centre of the
page (Fig. 1). The objects should have a light background (charts – white) and a resolution
of 300 dpi (e.g. for a figure with the same width as one page, in other words 16 cm, the
required resolution is 1920 pixels). If an element of the object is a description, its font size
should be at least 10. These objects are numbered with Arabic numerals and should
contain a reference to the main section and to the order of figures in the section. The title
of the object is preceded by Fig. (as well as for photographs and charts) which should be
placed under the figure (graph / chart) with a font size of 10. After the title of graphic
objects, a space of one line should be applied. If the object comes from a literature source
(including the Internet!), the source should appear directly after the title. If the description
of the figure does not contain the source, it means that it was created by the author of the
documentation.
Fig.4.1. Siłownik pneumatyczny: 1 - tuleja cylindrowa, 2 - zespół tłoka z tłoczyskiem, 3 - pokrywa
przednia, 4 - pokrywa tylna, 5 – tulejka, 6 - pierścień zgarniający, 7 - pierścień uszczelniający, 8 - zawory
zwrotne, 9 - zawory dławiące, 10 – uszczelka, 11 – pierścienie gumowe.
Page 12
Mathematical formulas
During the use of general formulas it is desirable to avoid the formula proofing and
only provide the initial and end forms with appropriate explanations and numbering (it is
also possible to place the proof in an attachment), e.g.:
J
DM ss
2
(3.1)
where:
Ms – turning moment,
D – diameter,
J – moment of inertia.
Mathematical formulas should be centred and numbered in increasing order. The
numbers of mathematical formulas in rounded brackets should be aligned to the right-hand
margin and contain a reference to the main section as well as to the order in the section, for
example (3.15) means the fifteenth formula in the third section.
During the use of mathematical functions, the measurement units used should be
included, e.g.:
1963.04
5.014.3 2
F [m2] (3.2)
Both before and after mathematical formulas, there should be a space of one line.
Page 13
Footnotes and references to literature
During preparation of the documentation, footnotes are used to increase its readability
and clarity. Footnotes placed on the same page as the referenced part of text should be
limited to the so-called digressive footnotes – unconnected with the used text sources.
These are used when the author makes comments worth noting but which would disrupt
the logic of the reasoning.
References to material sources (bibliography) and their list should be conducted in line
with the so-called Harvard System. The particular positions are numbered with successive
Arabic numerals in square brackets in alphabetical order. The bibliography is placed at the
end of the documentation and represents a list ordered alphabetically. The bibliography
entries depend on the type of source and take the following forms:
Book – the author's surname and initials, title. (volume, part), location, publishing house
and year published, e.g. Billingsley P.: Probability and Measure. New York, John Wiley
1979
Sections in collective publications – the author's surname and initials, title.
In: editor's surname and initials, title, place, publishing house and year of publication,
Tymińska A.: Zasady utrzymywania czystości w magazynach bibliotecznych i w
księgozbiorach. In: Działania profilaktyczne w bibliotece. Wskazówki metodyczne. Ed. E.
Stachowska-Musiał. Warsaw: SBP 1998 pp.14-16
Article in a scientific magazine – the author's surname and initials, article title,
magazine title, year of publication, month or annual (volume): range of pages from–to,
e.g.: Berkhoff A.P., Sensor scheme design for active structural acoustic control, J. Acoust.
Soc. Am. 108 (3), 2000, 1037-1045
Article in scientific conference – the author's surname and initials, title, conference title,
place and range of dates from-to, year of conference, range of pages from-to e.g.:
Bourquin F., Collet M., Joly M., Lene F., Ratier R., An efficient feedback control
algorithm for beam: Experimental results, Conference materials, Active 97, Budapest,
Hungary, 1997, 247–258
Electronic publications - the title, URL address and the date of obtaining the
information e.g.: Studencki Klub Turystyczny Politechniki Gdańskiej "FIFY". Gdańsk:
SKT PG "FIFY". Available: http://www.pg.gda.pl/~fify/listy.php (visited 20.09.2010).
If the publication has more than six authors, the list should be shortened by using
the words et al. after the sixth surname. Legal acts are normally written as follows: Budget
act for the year 2000 from 21 January 2000. “Journal of Laws” 2000, no. 7, pos. 85.
Page 14
4.3. Documentation of constructions and software
If it is necessary to construct a work-station, it should be precisely described how to
create such a work-station (together with photographs). Most projects which result in
working software must possess step-by-step instructions for use and contain a
demonstration of the project's activity. The best formats for film demonstrations are AVI,
flash, etc.
When implementing algorithms, code modularization should be used. For projects
undertaken in the C/C++ programming languages, important algorithms in the project
should be contained in separate libraries (dll, lib, header and additionally source) with a
well documented API.
The aim of such an approach is to make it possible to use solutions created during
the realization of projects by other student groups, as well as to create a database of
algorithms. Some time should also be dedicated to the testing of the created library and the
test documentation (e.g. sets of test data and instructions) should be attached.
The main objective of documenting the constructions and software is to ensure the
flow of information enabling the use of the created tools and algorithms, as well as to
ensure the repeatability of the experiments conducted within the project. The
documentation should contain:
:
a general description of using the software (e.g. installations,
instructions of use, etc.),
a description of the conditions in which tests were conducted,
the format of processed data and the result data.
The instructions of use for the software must be short and compact, written with the
needs of future users in mind, with the assumption that they have only basic knowledge of
the algorithm details, but have to know how to activate and use it correctly within the
project program. There should be a detailed explanation of the aims of the program or its
fragments as well as a list of initial conditions which must be met (operating system,
installations, graphic resolution, initial files etc.). Then, there should be a step-by-step
guide to using the program, with critical places illustrated by a copy of the screen. It is
Page 15
recommended to first provide general guidelines, and later to provide more specific
examples.
4.4. Content of attached data carriers (cd, dvd)
The data carriers must be placed in particular catalogues:
according to the type of work – sample or all pictures, which are the basis of
creating and testing algorithms (with possible reference to analogue material
– title of recorded video cassettes),
SRC – the source created procedure together with the project, makefile etc.,
EXE - the program prepared for activation together with possible
configuration files or other necessary components,
DOC – text report in electronic form (MS WORD as well as PDF or PS).
4.5. DESCRIPTION OF THE IT PROCEDURES
This section has a strictly technical character. It begins with information about the
programming environment, and possibly modularization and compilation options, files
which must be attached and used “foreign” libraries. Later, the main procedures are
described according to the standard presented in Tab. 2, together with specifications
necessary for their correct functioning.

DECLARATION
I am aware of the penal responsibility for untrue declarations and I declare that I
prepared this master's thesis personally and independently, and that I did not use any
sources other than those listed in the thesis.
I also state that the thesis documentation does not infringe any copyright laws
as understood by the act of 4 February 1994 concerning copyright and related law (Journal
