Czech Technical University in Prague

In practice, the citation style for a thesis is rarely something a student picks freely — it's usually set by the program, sometimes by the specific department, and occasionally left to the student within a short approved list. The most reliable way to find out is the simplest one: check the formatting section of your program handbook, or ask your supervisor directly if it isn't written down anywhere.

Once a style is confirmed, the more common failure point isn't picking the wrong one — it's inconsistency: mixing author-date and numbered citations, or applying a style correctly in the text but not in the reference list (or the other way around).

We don't claim inside knowledge of Czech Technical University in Prague's specific requirements — no outside service reasonably can, and any that claims otherwise should be treated with caution. What we do is work from what you actually have: your program's own handbook or formatting guidelines, and whatever feedback your supervisor has already given you. Students at technical and engineering-focused institutions generally have those two things available, and once you share them with us, we build the work around your program's stated requirements rather than a generic template.

A pattern worth knowing, even though it isn't a rule: many programs default to something in the range of 2.5–3 cm (roughly 1 inch) margins, 1.5 or double line spacing for the main text, and a numbered table of contents generated from consistent heading styles. None of that is guaranteed for any specific program, though — some faculties require single spacing, wider binding margins for printed copies, or specific heading formatting tied to a style guide.

The only reliable way to confirm any of this is your own official handbook — treat anything general written here as a starting expectation, not a substitute for checking it.
