In the fast-evolving world of technology, is hard for education's system to keep the pace. The curricula for a 3-year study program is established at the enrolment of the students. After 3 years ,the students present their bachelor's thesis usually as an application with the topic related to what they studied and the expertise of the supervisor.

In order to observe the student’s approach to the topic of the bachelor thesis, we let the student to choose their own topic.

Nearly a quarter of the students from the promotion of 2025 volunteer to do their bachelor thesis in this way. The supervising was done in a laissez-faire manner. In the first semester, the communication with all 60 students was done via email exclusively. In the second semester, the supervisors organized one online meeting, two times a week.

Regarding the topics chosen by the students, we saw that there were topics that were not studied at the university, like applications using AI large language models or quantum computing technologies.

OpenAI launched ChatGPT in November 2022. In October 2022, the students began the university and finished in 2025. The curriculum of the study program did not contain any large language model topics. In this study we discovered that nearly 20% of the student implemented their bachelor thesis application that use a large language model (either hosted or using API).

The average grade for these students under our supervision was on the same level as the rest of the students.

By their choices, we see that students are more likely to tackle topics that go with the technology trends than remaining only by the supervisor’s proposals. Also, the students are willing to learn beyond university’s curricula in order to fulfill the market’s needs.
