Thesis
You are welcome to write a thesis at our group. We are always looking for motivated students that want to write a Bachelor's or Master's thesis. However, it is best if your interests align with our research and teaching topics such that we may adequately supervise you.
Please write Michael an email.
Yes. We are happy to discuss your own ideas for a thesis.
For the student to bring their own thesis topic is not expected by us. A thesis usually starts with a first consultation where we present you different thesis topics that are currently offered by us. This usually amounts to two to three different topics. We are then happy to discuss these topics with you or come up with new ideas that build on top of them.
After you have received your topic, you will also be assigned a direct supervisor (usually a PhD student). They will help you with quick and concrete questions and will also schedule meetings with you as needed. The duration of the thesis is at least 3 months for a Bachelor's and at least 6 months for a Master's thesis. The thesis will be written in English. Concurrently, you have to complete your respective seminar where you present your own topic (2 presentations) and attend presentations of other students. Please look at the requirements of the respective iteration of the seminar for more information. We will give you a more concrete outline for your particular topic and our expectations once you have decided on a topic.
A Master's thesis is allocated double the duration time by the university. As such, you are also expected to put in more work into the deliverables of the project. This is usually already reflected in the topic you received.
