Bachelor- and Master Thesis Process

The purpose of an academic paper, such as a Bachelor's or Master's thesis, can be summarized in several key points:

• Proof of academic competence
• In-depth study of a specific topic
• Application of scientific methods
• Show independence and project management

We expect you to have all the basic knowledge required to complete your Bachelor's or Master's thesis. The supervisor is not there to teach you missing basic knowledge, but to accompany the process of the final thesis scientifically.

1. Express your interest

• If one of our topics excites you, then write to us and tell us what particularly interests you about the topic and why you are the one for it!
• You might also send CV or other information that underline your suitability for the topic

2. Personal Meeting

• We decide together how the work can roughly look like.
• The topic is now reserved for you
• To get you into the topic and also to check your background knowledge, there might be a small task.

3. Exposé

• In the expose in general you define the goal of your work and all the steps that are needed to achieve this.
• Deadline for Exposé is 3 weeks! When this deadline is missed, we assign the topic to other students.
• When the expose is finished successfully the “real work" can begin!

4. Processing Time

• With the Expose, you can generally work on your task independently.
• Of course, your supervisor will be available to discuss any questions you may have.
• We expect that meetings with the supervisor are prepared and relevant results, updates are presented. The supervisor is not there to debug your own code, for example

5. Submission and Final Representation

• A written report/thesis is required for every work, on which the grade is based.
• In addition, a final presentation is also required.
• There should be no more than 4 weeks between submission and presentation
