PhD students are asked that their grant name suggests a doctoral dissertation, e.g. by adding "PhD" to the grant name.
Students writing diploma theses (of various degrees) are requested not to submit proper grants applications (such applications will be rejected), but to use grants for diploma theses established by their Supervisors.
Supervisors of students writing theses/student projects are asked to set up separate grants for their students for their students' diploma calculations and other projects. Such a grant does not require further justification, apart from providing basic information, including field of study and topics of work to be created on its basis. Supervisor should create one grant for all his/her Subordinates, thus gaining easy access to knowledge about the progress of their students' work. The grant for thesis/student projects is settled with the work created on its basis.
