The title of the Thesis has to be submitted one semester before the planned graduation.

e.g. If you plan to graduate the 2020/2021/2 spring, the Thesis title has to be registered in the 2020/2021/1 autumn semester.

You can always find the current submission deadlines in the Academic Calendar.

The Thesis title must be announced in Neptun (only electronically). You can find a guide for it HERE.

Thesis submission

The submission of the Thesis happens only electronically, via Neptun system. Theses sent via email will not be accepted.

We call your attention to the fact that the thesis can be uploaded only with the supervisor’s consent. Please, request the approval (“Thesis admission request”) in Neptun between 30^th March and 10^th April 2026. For information on how to send the “Thesis admission request”, please study the guide “Information for students on uploading the thesis”. 

If your supervisor accepts your thesis admission request, Neptun will send you a system message about the acceptance. Following this message, the thesis upload button becomes active.

Please, check the programme-specific, content-related and formal requirements of the thesis writing carefully, with special attention to these documents:

• Current Students>Graduation information>Thesis and Final Exam requirements.
• Plagiarism guide
• Data protection information concerning thesis writing
• Information regarding the Declaration on the use of AI tools, which is compulsory attachment of the thesis

Please note that there is no opportunity for late thesis submission! In case you face technical issues during the upload, please, make a screenshot and report the problem immediately at kertesz.emese@btk.elte.hu. 

The thesis can be uploaded in Neptun under Menu>>Studies>>Degree thesis. The “Information for students on uploading the thesis” guide provides assistance with the upload process. 

Thesis upload technical issues

Important technical information for uploading the thesis:

• You can upload only 1 document/file to Neptun (zip or pdf).
• The maximal file size you can upload is 200 MB.
• A mandatory component of the thesis is the  Declaration on the use of artificial intelligence tools.
• Please, name the file the following way: (Name_Neptuncode_szd_2025_26_2). Example: Smith_Peter_XCVRQ2_szd_2025_26_2
• Keywords: Please provide terms related to the topic of your thesis. We recommend entering 2–3 keywords. 
• A maximum of 500 characters can be entered in the “Abstract” field. If the provided text exceeds this length, the system will display the following error message: 
  “Az entitás érvénytelen attribútummal rendelkezik. A(z) Extra2 értéke túl hosszú (Jelenlegi: …, Megengedett: 500).” If you receive this error message, please shorten the text entered in the “Abstract” field. (It is no problem if the text in the “Abstract” field is different from the actual abstract in your thesis document.) 
• We highly recommend that you start the thesis upload at least 20 minutes before the deadline, as entering the title, abstract, keywords, and uploading the thesis file are time-consuming processes. The thesis is considered uploaded if Neptun confirms the successful upload before the deadline (for BA/MA students: 23:59:59 on 15^th April 2026; for ELIMA students: 23:59:59 on 30^th April 2026).

Thesis evaluation

The thesis evaluation will be available in Neptun after the opponent (evaluating teacher) uploads it. For viewing the evaluation, follow the guide “Information for students on uploading the thesis”, in which we included the information on viewing the thesis evaluation.

In case you have any questions or face any difficulties while uploading your thesis, please report it at kertesz.emese@btk.elte.hu before the deadline. Do not forget to attach screenshots.
