Master and Bachelor Thesis Supervision

This page is targeted at both students and staff.

General procedure

After the topic and supervisor have been found (see below), the student must write a proposal with preliminary results. After Klaus approves the proposal, the student can register the thesis, and the writing period begins (typically three months for BA and six months for MA). This implies that a thesis often requires more time than the official writing period. It might be possible to hand in the thesis early (check with the respective examination regulations for the student’s degree program). However, we encourage significant time between registration and submission.

Though we encourage thesis supervision, there is no obligation to supervise every interested student, e.g., in case no appropriate topic/supervisor is available.

Unsolicited applications

Students can proactively contact researchers if none of the open topics below are suitable. It is possible to suggest your own topics or ideas. In general, being friendly, motivated, and skillful is helpful. Though our group tries to supervise as many students as possible, we do not always have the capacity to supervise every interested student.

Open topics

• Please delete topics that are not available anymore.
• Please include the entry's date. This can help identify outdated topics that should have been deleted.

• The last column can entail short additional information helpful to students to assess their interest in a topic without contacting the person. For example, you may include a short description or a link to a relevant paper.
