Completing the thesis project allows the student to learn how to independently work with various information sources, abstract materials from periodical literature, study the main problems of labor economics in more depth, analyze statistical data, and develop organizational measures based on this, which are brought to the level of practical application. The master’s thesis project must be an independent study worthy of the corresponding qualification. The thesis student must confirm their level of general theoretical and special training.
