A Thesis of 10,000 wordsmust be submitted by September or latest by December in case the Thesis is found unacceptable. The Thesis must be of satisfactory standard and contain original research work.

The Thesis must be on a topic agreed with the student’s Tutor and should have a RESEARCH bias. Students are expected to begin working on the thesis in June after the exams and submit it the latest by the first week of September of the same year.
However students are encouraged to begin thinking about the area of concentration long before June. This is why in early January students are allocated a Tutor to assist them with the preparation and guidance of their Thesis. The Institute encourages students to undertake a study, which is of a current concern to their own Organization/ Firm. The Thesis will be marked by an examiner and moderated by an external examiner. The student may be required to support his/her work to an examining panel. The pass mark is 50% and student’s performance will be indicated on the Transcript. If the Thesis is not of an acceptable standard then the student pays an extra 85 Euros in order to -re-submit it the latest by December. This is the last chance and if the Thesis is found unsatisfactory again then the student fails in his Diploma.
