For oral examinations:
In addition to the face-to-face disputation, disputations via online video examination or hybrid event are also possible.

When announcing the exams (virtual or hybrid only), we will include the name and email address of the biologist in charge of the committee (in the case of candidates from our faculty, the topic provider(s)). Anyone who would like to take part in the examination via Zoom should contact this person 24 hours before the examination and will then be invited by him/her before the examination. For the non-public part of the defence, i.e. the discussion, which only takes place with the examination committee, the public is then dismissed from the zoom room.
