You should get the supervisor's and the opponent's review at least three days before the defence - they should be uploaded to the STAG and sent to you as well.
You can check what are the supervisor and the opponent evaluating to give you some hints, in addition to the requirements and recommendation on writing theses:
Requirements and recommendations for writing theses at the Dept. of Chemistry
Usually the defence of BSc and MSc theses looks like this:
1) the head of the commission welcomes and introduces the student, the commission, and the audience.
2) student presents the presentation/defends her/his thesis, usually finishing with the "Thank you" slide
3) supervisor presents her/his review
4) the opponent (or two in the case of MSc theses) presents her/his review
5) student answers the questions and comments of the opponent. For MSc theses defences, student can answer first the questions and comments of the first opponent, then the 2nd opponent presents her/his review and students answers those questions and comments
6) all commission members can ask any question and student answers
7) audience can ask
8) everybody except the commission leaves and the commission discusses and votes on the grade
9) the grade is announced
You can include the answers to the questions and comments after the "Thank you" slide
You should wear a formal or business casual dress for the defence

Cross-borded program - Unviersity of South Bohemia in České Budějovice and Johannes Kepler Unviersity in Linz. Study in English only.
The joint Master's degree program in Biological Chemistry is organized and supported by the Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences at the JKU Linz and the Faculty of Sciences at the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice, Czech Republic.
The primary goal of the study program is to provide state-of-the-art education that encompasses molecular and cellular biology, biochemistry, and biophysics. The program represents an alternative extension of modern molecular, cellular and structural biology towards biochemistry, bio-organic chemistry, and biophysics.
The length of the study is 2.5 years (5 semesters).
A fee for studying at FSc USB in a foreign language is 500 CZK (or 20 EURO), as stated in the Provision of the Dean No. 83. Za studium v cizím jazyce se na PřF JU platí poplatek 500 Kč (anebo 20 EURO) za rok, viz Opatření děkanky D83.
The program is conducted entirely in English. Applicants from study programs other than Bachelor Biological Chemistry and other universities must provide a sufficient TOEFL score or pass an exam (see below).
The emphasis during the study is laid on modern forms of study focused on practical instruction with the use of modern information technology. A significant portion of the study program consists of practical training, praxis in research laboratories, and involvement in research projects.
Successful completion of the master's degree program will open the door to continuing on to doctoral studies in biochemistry, molecular biology, biophysics, or bioorganic chemistry. Graduates of the cross-border Biological Chemistry study program will receive a professional qualification at the frontier of modern chemistry and biology. This will clear the path for a wide range of employment positions at institutions undertaking basic and applied research and development, in chemical and biological laboratories, at biotechnology companies, universities, institutes of the Academy of Sciences, and private companies. Excellent knowledge of the English language will prepare graduates of this attractive discipline for involvement in international research teams or work abroad.
Joint-degree means that the students are working on one master thesis (either at USB or JKU) and their studies will be finished by one state exam and defence (at the university, where the master thesis is done). Students receive two diplomas and one title (Mgr in Czech and the equivalent MSc in Austria).
ENTER BOOK
a helpful booklet on how to survive the first year in Linz, written by the first students of the study program.
Admission
Admission to the study program is based primarily on the applicant's academic credentials and his/her knowledge of biology/chemistry/biophysics and the English language. Admission is granted without regard to sex, age, religion, race, color, national origin, sexual orientation, or marital status. The master’s “Biological Chemistry” study program welcomes qualified candidates for transfer admission from accredited universities with a completed bachelor's degree in molecular and cellular biology, chemistry, biochemistry, biophysics, or related fields showing substantial knowledge of biology and chemistry comparable to graduates of our bachelor Biological Chemistry program.
An official TOEFL level of at least B2 (SERR) will be required. The candidates without this TOEFL level will have to pass the internal English test at the Faculty of Science, University of South Bohemia (FS USB).
A) Students who successfully graduated in the bachelor program Biological Chemistry from USB and JKU are admitted to the master's program automatically (be aware of the deadlines for application into the master study programmes - you need to apply in advance).
B) Applicants for masters program Biological Chemistry from other programs or universities
Applicants with sufficient background in chemistry and biology will have to pass a written exam composed of three parts:
Tuition fee
According to the guidelines of the Ministry of Education of the Czech Republic, students are required to pay a tuition fee. The tuition fee reflects extra administration and operational costs connected with running the study program in a foreign language (estimated to be around 10 EUR per student). The precise amount will be declared by the dean of the Faculty of Science at the beginning of each calendar year, in accordance with the Study and Exam Guidelines of the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice.
Students are supported by various stipends from USB and JKU during their studies - the Dept. of Study Affairs will provide more information. Further possibilities fo stipends for students outside Austria.
Requirements for successful completion of studies
The requirements follow the Internal guidelines of the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice. Further requirements are specified in the Internal guidelines of the Faculty of Science of the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice. To complete the master’s study program in Biological Chemistry, four basic requirements have to be fulfilled. The student has to pass all required exams and acquire a sufficient amount of credits (≥ 150). The student is also required to defend a master's thesis and subsequently pass a final oral exam.
Bachelor and Master theses
The requirements for theses is very different at JKU and USB, especially for the bachelor thesis. please, read the information on theses writing!
