= 90 pages, which could be optimally distributed as follows:
35 % (90 × 0,35 = 32 pages) for the theoretical chapter;
35 % (90 × 0,35 = 31 pages) for the analytical chapter;
30 % (90 × 0,3 = 27 pages) for the practical chapter.

The allowed deviation in the volume of the main text of chapters is within 25 – 40 %, but the minimum number of pages of any section must be at least 20.
Annexes that are not stitched, but are required, include (Annex G):
a review of the scientific advisor for the graduate student work;
an external review of the research paper (it can be given by any business or organisation, including those where the student took his/her undergraduate practice, except KhNUE);
a reference letter containing information about the reliability of the data (is given by the company or organisation where the student took his/her undergraduate practice). If the second and third sections contain reports of several companies, the letter should be signed by the main object of the study;
an electronic medium (standard CD or DVD drive) that contains the files from the full text stitched thesis (preferably in the format *.pdf); scanned colour copies of the documents that were additionally provided by the university and third parties (in the format *. jpeg with minimal resolution of 300 dpi); files of presentations and demonstrations, prepared to defend the thesis (in the format in which they were presented in the speech), other auxiliary materials (files with the results of developments suggested in the project chapter, intermediate calculations to mathematical econometrics models, etc.) that were not included in the main text or in hard copy annexes .
The value of theoretical and practical recommendations for the enterprise– the practice base – can be confirmed by the certificate of implementation of the study findings, provided by an enterprise or institution.
The demonstration material for the thesis is not structurally regulated, it is defined in most cases by the defence procedure and the features of the research findings. However, it should adhere to the following guidelines:
the volume of visual materials should not exceed 15 – 20 pages for masters and specialists;
the title page is identical to the title page of the thesis, the phrase "the explanatory note" is replaced by "the demonstration material";
n + 1 copies of the demonstration material are made for the defence procedure (the number of the members of the State Examining Board and an additional copy, signed by the student and the supervisor and archived with the thesis);
the text and graphic material editing should be as close to the style of the main text of the thesis as possible, but the set text volume and line spacing can differ– the main criterion is the ease of visual perception of the information provided and the aesthetic design;
the posters should be placed in order of reference in the text of speech.
It is recommended to include the content-and-logic structure of the thesis in the posters, which presents the purpose and objectives of the research, their relationship with the chapters and subsections of the work, the object and subject of the study (Annex H).The multimedia presentation can include pictures that are not included in the demonstration material, but must contain all of them.
A general guidance on the content and structure of the thesis for the bachelor’s degree academic qualification is shown in table3.
