Procedure for writing your thesis
Determine the topic and the supervisor
Here you can find our supervisors and their respective topics. If you would like to write your thesis on one of these topics, please contact the supervisor directly and CC Shariga Sivanathan.
| Supervisor | Thematic focus |

If you have your own topic request, reach out to Shariga Sivanathan, she will take over the further coordination. Please also contact her if you have general questions regarding the process or the organization of your thesis.
Arrange an initial meeting and create your exposé
Arrange an initial meeting with your supervisor, then prepare an exposé and send it to them. If you already have an idea for your thesis, then contact the supervisor with a first draft of an exposé that summarizes your idea and how you would tackle that topic methodologically. The exposé helps your supervisor to assess whether the implementation of your structure is feasible within the framework of the thesis. It also serves as a guideline for you during the preparation of the thesis.
