Learning Outcome:In their bachelor's thesis, students should apply their professional skills to a specific scientific question and their methodological and generic skills in relation to solving scientific/technical problems. Since the topics are often dealing with in working groups, students also deepen their social skills. When defending their thesis, their communication skills (presentation and discussion) are also required.


When writing their thesis, students are encouraged to consider their topic in a larger context and to classify it systematically. They learn to assess the scientific value and benefit of their work. They also learn to ensure that the strategic direction of their work is also based on what will be sustainable and relevant in the future.
