Research & Thesis Support

EIASM gives students access to major academic databases through a Czech research library, as well as a structured thesis support process that walks you from a topic approval to a defense. This page details what is available and what you can expect.

Research Related to Your Career

EIASM students do not write theses to fill a shelf. The work is built around real questions from real organizations – the kind that makes the degree a step forward in your career, not just a step toward graduation.

Topics You Choose

You select a thesis topic connected to your professional context, current work or future career direction – approved by the study department and shaped with your supervisor. The most rewarding theses answer questions you actually want answered.

Applied, Not Abstract

Most students write applied research, comparative studies, business project proposals or in-depth case analyses. The common thread: every thesis is grounded in real organizations, real markets and real decisions.

Work That Outlives the Degree

Many students publish their thesis as a book, present findings to company leadership or use the analysis to inform real strategic decisions at their workplace. A well-chosen thesis becomes a professional asset, not a forgotten document.

Academic Support

Research Resources & Academic Access

EIASM students have on-request access to TechLib (Czech National Library of Technology), one of the largest academic libraries in Central Europe – which subscribes to the same paid databases used by leading research universities.

Selected databases:

17 databases

Students can also use major open-access repositories – DOAJ, DOAB, arXiv, PubMed, OAPEN, OpenAIRE – freely available without any login and useful for international and cross-disciplinary research.

4 TYPES OF SUPPORT

Structured Support from Topic to Defense

Writing a thesis is the most demanding part of any postgraduate degree – and the part where a clear support matters the most. EIASM provides a structured process, from topic approval to public defense, built around a methodology course and 4 distinct supporting roles for every thesis.

01

Research Methodology

For every thesis, a student takes Research Methodology course on Moodle – covering topic selection, academic structure, citations, plagiarism, formatting and defense preparation.

02

Thesis & Dissertation Development

A written work is a part of study paths. Thesis work, dissertation development, literature review, research design and results/discussion structure are all part of the academic progression for advanced work.

03

Guidance & Communication

EIASM consultant guides your methodology, sources and conclusions in your specific topic area. Students can also suggest their own supervisor and opponent – useful for highly local or specialized topics – or have one assigned by EIASM, typically within a few weeks.

04

EIASM Consultant

EIASM consultant is assigned to every student, overseeing structure, citations, template compliance and academic standards regardless of where your supervisor is based. The consultant green-lights your thesis before the defense is scheduled.

How Thesis Process Works?

6 clear steps, from approved topic to defended thesis – with a timeline that you can plan around.

Topic Approval

Submit a short proposal to the study department. Typically confirmed within 48 hours.

Supervisor Assignment

You can find your own supervisor or have one assigned by EIASM – within a few weeks.

Methodology & Writing

Complete Research Methodology course in parallel with thesis writing, with ongoing supervisor and consultant input.

Review

Supervisor and opponent submit structured assessments using forms that are shared with you in advance.

Defence

Scheduled within ~2 weeks of reviews, held online before a commission of at least 3 EIASM professors.

Graduation

Optional in-person graduation ceremony in Prague or remote diploma delivery – the choice is up to you.
