 From the faculty guidelines:
-The aim of the master thesis is to demonstrate an ability to work independently. The form a bachelor thesis takes may vary (background research, software, proof of a new theorem, etc.), due to the differences between various study programmes and disciplines. Presentation of original results is always desirable, but not necessary.

-Don't fall in the ''PDF/A'' trap! The electronic system requires all submitted PDF in PDF/A format and there is an automatic check for PDF/A. Allow yourself enough time to find out how to convert your PDF into PDF/A (like, not in the last two hours before deadline midnight). Some good advice on PDF/A, unfortunately only in Czech, can be found [[https://mj.ucw.cz/vyuka/bc/pdfaq.html|here]].
+The deadline for submission of a master thesis is specified in the Academic calendar https://www.mff.cuni.cz/en/students/academic-calendar ;
+three possible terms are offered throughout the year: ''summer'' (mid May), ''autumn'' (mid July) and ''winter'' (beginning of January).
+You are suppose to submit your thesis in the following formats:
+  - An electronic version of the thesis should be submitted to SIS in due time. The electronic file should not exceed 850 MB in size.
+  - Two hardcopies are submitted as well -- the thesis must be bound in hardcover
+The hardcopies typically also contain a CD/DVD with the electronic version of the text (PDF) and all data and software that you created during the work, including documentation and possibly third-party software, if it is relevant and redistributable.
+//TODO: is this still true in 2021? The standard way is a zip attachment in SIS (plus a link to GitHub/Lindat/etc.).//
+If you order the binding in Prague, the stores typically know how the product should look like, so they will only ask you your name and the name of the faculty. You will have to submit two hardcopies of the thesis: one for the supervisor / the opponent and one for the library. The hardcopy for the library must also contain the original assignment, signed and stamped from the dean's office (at this time it is probably being kept for you by Ms. Brdičková – see above).

+PDF-A requirements:
+there is an ufal-wide installation of the verapdf tool available at /lnet/ms/projects/verapdf, with a useful wrapper script /lnet/ms/projects/verapdf/checkpdf that can be more talkative if you use the `–verbose` option.
