Requests for master's/bachelor's/study theses and study projects
Dear students,
if your are looking for a research project at the Department of Aquatic Ecology, please contact us via email at beate.mueller(at)b-tu.de or the announced supervisor (incl. transcript of records and your research interest).
We will then jointly check whether we can offer you a suitable topic. Due to the relatively large number of requests, we ask that you contact us as early as possible. Please also read and follow the general information provided here.
