We have open slots for writing your thesis at our chair. If you are interested in writing this or next semester, please reach out to the given supervisor next to the topics. The listings represent only a first overview. You are welcome to submit your own suggestions for topics. We have also had good experiences with thesis projects together with companies and organisations. Ask for details!

Important Note

For theses and seminar papers, our guideline for scientific work is authoritative.

Procedure: 

1. Please clarify first if you have fulfilled all formal requirements to write a thesis at this chair.
2. Choose a topic from the list ("offered topics for theses") or develop your own topic (this can, but does not have to, happen in cooperation with an external organization or a company).
3. Make an consultation appointment with supervisor and clarify content and expectations in a joint discussion.
4. You need to prepare a written exposé of the planned work as a Word file with 3 pages. The exposé should deal with the following points: 1) Theoretical background/motivation for the topic 2) Problem definition and research question, 3) Methodological approach, 4) Expected results, 5) Timetable, 6) Literature. A written exposé is mandatory for writing your thesis at our chair. Please note that crafting a expose will usually take some, in some cases you have to overwork your expose to get it accepted.
5. If your exposé has been accepted by the supervisor, please have the completed application form for your final thesis (see "Downloads") checked by the student examination office, then you will come to the chair and have it signed by the head of the chair. 
6. After signing by the head of the chair, please register your thesis (using this form) at the student examination office. 
7. The duration of the course depends on your examination regulations (between 3 and 6 months, usually 4 months, please check!)
8. We suggest you to discuss your work progress regularly with your supervisor. It is up to you to contact your supervisors and ask for help. The supervisor is free to make individual arrangements.
