Already published topics may be changed in case of the topic or supervisor change not later than begining of 12th semester. To do so the student must fill in the new Application form signed by both, the student and the Supervisor, and send it by email to the administrator of the relevant Department / Clinic.

Loading Final Theses to the Information System for Final-Year Students
Submission of final theses and metadata onto VUSIS is carried out in accordance with the Procedure for Administration of Written Works in the Information System of Vilnius University Studies.
It is important to note, that the procedure for final thesis submission is comprised of two parts: I - the uploading of the final thesis onto the VUSIS system and II - the submission of the final thesis to the administrator of the clinic/department by email:
I
- Students should upload their final theses and their metadata (abstract and keywords) onto the information system of Vilnius University studies (VUSIS).
- In cases where final theses have annexes, they must be integrated into the main body of the paper, i.e., only one document in pdf format should be uploaded onto the VUSIS.
- Only after a paper is uploaded onto the VUSIS, does it become possible to complete a declaration. By completing the declaration, students confirm that their paper is prepared independently and honestly. If the student requires an embargo period to be attached to their thesis submission, this should be defined as part of the declaration. Whether the student needs an embargo and how long it should be, (up to a maximum of 60 months), should be discussed with the student’s supervisor.
II
- Students should send a digital version of their final paper (pdf format) using their VU email, to the administrator of the relevant clinic/department via VU email and should include the following text in this email:
I, <given name and surname>,
1. Declare that my final thesis has been prepared independently and honestly and no other persons have contributed to the submitted paper. I have made no illegal payments for this paper. References and sources directly or indirectly quoted in the paper are indicated in the list of references;
2. Confirm that my final thesis and all its metadata have been uploaded onto the Information System of Vilnius University Studies.

Final examinations‘ procedure for the 6ths‘ year Medicine students
Final exam - course description
Date and time of examination: 8th of June, 2023.
The final examination will last: 3 hours.
The place and form of the examination, date of their announcement:
The final examination for the study of medicine will be held face-to-face at the Information Technology Service Centre of Vilnius University and/or at the Faculty of Medicine of Vilnius University. Due to the epidemiological situation, students will be divided into groups that will take the exam at different times (above). The number of exam questions and their presentation to students by automatic rotation ensures a variety of questions for all groups. It prevents the possibility of passing on the answers to other students. If the epidemiological situation changes, the final examination will be carried out remotely (with the measures of preventing academic dishonesty and plagiarism). About groups and other relevant information will be provided no later than two weeks until the scheduled exam date.
The structure of the final examination:
- examination will consist of 200 questions - 140 theoretical and 60 practical questions;
- each student will get different questions (the computer system randomly selects theoretical and practical questions from the final examination database);
- students must answer the theoretical and practical questions consecutively (if the exam is taken remotely, there will be no possibility to return to the previous question);
- depending on the number of correct answers to each question, proposed answers to the questions will be marked as follows:
- only one possible correct answer – answers are marked with a circle,
- one or more possible correct answers – answer options are marked with a square,
- there are no questions with no correct answer (each question has at least one correct answer);
- answers to the questions are assessed as follows:
- if all the correct options of the answers are provided – “question answered correctly”;
- if only some correct answer options are provided, or no options are provided – “question answered incorrectly” (e.g. if there are four correct answer options, but only three are provided).
Final examination assessment:
A student passed the final examination if 101 questions [>50%] have been answered correctly. A 10-point scoring system is used. Percentage to score conversion:
- 93–100% of questions answered correctly: 10 points (excellent);
- 83.7–92.9% of questions answered correctly: 9 points (very good);
- 75.3–83.6% of questions answered correctly: 8 points (good);
- 66.9–75.2% of questions answered correctly: 7 points (average);
- 58.5–66.8% of questions answered correctly: 6 points (satisfactory);
- 50.1–58.4% of questions answered correctly: 5 points (weak);
4 points and less – minimum requirements have not been fulfilled:
- 0-50.0% of questions answered correctly – 4 points (unsatisfactory);
- 30.0–39.9% of questions answered correctly – 3 points (unsatisfactory);
- 20.0–29.9% of questions answered correctly – 2 points (unsatisfactory);
- < 20% of questions answered correctly – 1 point (unsatisfactory).
Open access to the theoretical questions database on the Virtual Learning Environment (VMA) of the final examination for the 6th year Medicine students (course: Final Examination: Medicine) will be provided from 21st of March 2023 at 9:00 a.m. Access to practical questions of the examination will be provided from 25th of May 2023 at 9:00 a.m. until 7th of June at 9:00 p.m.
