Thesis prizes for FASoS students
Every year, the best theses by our students are rewarded during the Dies Natalis celebration. The award is given to students who completed their bachelor's or master's degree with a thesis that was labelled excellent by their faculty. They receive five hundred euros, a certificate and a small gift as a token of appreciation from our Rector Magnificus.
