To write a thesis at our chair, we recommend participating in our seminar or our lecture. If you want to apply with your own ideas, you can contact any of the supervisors, even if they currently do not offer current topics.
To apply for a topic you need to:
- write a short exposé (max. two pages)
- provide your grade sheets
Make sure to send these documents to the supervisor offering the topic. In case you have your own idea, feel free to get in touch with any supervisor with a research field close to your domain.
We have a guide to help you writing your thesis.
