Master and Bachelor Thesis Supervision

General information

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.
