Popis: The aim of this paper is to encourage students to write their undergraduate and graduate theses in a foreign language. Students of Tourism Management at the Polytechnic of Šibenik have already shown interest in that direction. In such a way, higher education institutions, in general, become more visible to a wider audience, and students improve their proficiency. In Croatia, undergraduate and graduate theses are stored in the Croatian Digital Theses Repository, which enhances visibility and transparency in education. Although transparency prevents unethical behavior, there is a risk of intentional or unintentional plagiarism generated by the use of foreign languages in undergraduate or graduate theses. Students and mentors aiming at the advancement of undergraduate and graduate theses in foreign languages are also confronted with house-made legal barriers, which this paper intends to resolve by calling for action. At the Polytechnic of Šibenik, a clear strategy for the elimination of obstacles to foreign language thesis in the field of Tourism Management must be developed.
