How it helps you

Are you finishing your bachelor’s or master’s thesis and feeling worried about the defense?

Join us for a Mock thesis defense at the Carolina Centre. We will help you prepare for the actual defense by giving you individual tips and support on how to manage it without fear. You can contact the staff at the Carolina Center by e-mail: .

Who can attend?

The service is primarily intended for students with special needs.

If there are available slots left, all Charles University students are welcome to use it. 

How does the mock thesis defense work?

• Preparing your presentation: create a presentation of your bachelor’s or master’s thesis and sign up for one of the scheduled mock defense sessions.

• Mock thesis defense: on your chosen date, come to the Carolina Centre along with other participating students.

• Presentation: present your thesis topic under conditions that simulate a real defense. We will time your presentation so you know whether you fit within the limit set by your faculty.

• Feedback: At the end, you will receive personalized feedback. Unlike a real committee, we will not evaluate your content — instead, we will give you recommendations to improve your delivery and practical tips to reduce stress, helping you approach your real defense with confidence.

When is the next session?

Dates are scheduled regularly throughout the year according to the academic calendars of CU faculties. You will always be notified by email well in advance when new dates are available.

The next sessions will be scheduled for November and December, before the January defences.
