Master's Research Work (MRW)
MRW aims to develop creative abilities and apply scientific achievements in the field of physical culture and sports.
What is master's research work?
Master's research work is a mandatory component of master's training, aimed at developing general and professional competencies.
It prepares the master's student for independent research culminating in the writing and defence of the master's thesis.
Period of implementation and result
MRW is conducted throughout the entire period of study in accordance with the approved master's thesis topic.
During this work, the master's student completes research tasks, analyses the results and presents them as a completed scientific work, culminating in the writing and defence of the master's dissertation.
