"A student in Ukraine or Russia has to complete a thesis and then defend it in front of their department. Sometimes the defense meeting is made up of the learning institute’s professionals, and sometimes the students peers are allowed to view and/or join in. After the presentation and defense of the thesis, the final conclusion of the department should be that none of them have reservations on the content and quality of the thesis."[/]

 

[Biskup]

That's not only in Russia or Ukraine but also in many other countries

 

[Tailor]

The phd student researches to proof/refute the thesis of his studies. Most studies are done to proof a thesis. To get the degree as a scientist you need to defend your thesis in front of a board of specialists and non-specialists.
I can remember the phd defense of my wife: Man, was I so tense I could have made diamonds from pieces of coal with my bare hands.

I wasn't claiming you lived there Roman, just that out of all of them I found, I thought it was the closest in comparison/description.

" I tried to find one that fit Romans situation the closest."

Here I was thinking that if I simply linked to the American definition, I'd be taken to task for over simplifying, so I went a little deeper...

My bad.
