Our department has a number of chairs and working groups working on different research and teaching topics. In terms of your Bachelor or Master thesis, it is wise to consider which topics you are interested in and to select the supervising group based on that. In general, the process usually proceeds as follows:

1. You choose an interesting topic. 

2. You contact the relevant supervisor and ask them whether they would be ready to supervise your thesis. 

3. Together, you define the topic and enter it into the department’s online system (Please note: not in FlexNow, that is a different tool which is administered by the Examination Office). 

4. The supervisor allocates the topic to you via the department’s online system. 

5. The supervisor submits an enquiry with the Examination Office to confirm that you have fulfilled all the requirements and are allowed to write your Bachelor thesis. 

6. As soon as the “OK” is given by the Examination Office, your guide card data can be completed. 

7. On the day of collection, the date is entered in the online system, and the guide card is generated, printed and given to you (a copy is kept by the Secretary’s Office). 

8. The processing time starts. You’ll find the templates for your final thesis here. 

9. You regularly receive emails about the remaining time/important events via the email address stated on your guide card and/or your ZIV email account.

10. ATTENTION: If you plan to write your bachelor’s thesis while still enrolled in the program (i.e., at the time you select your topic, you have not yet completed and been graded on all other exams and coursework), you must submit an application to the department for writing the bachelor’s thesis while still enrolled, along with a transcript (no older than 3 days), when you select your topic. You can find further information and the corresponding form at the Examination Office. This will extend the processing time to 12 weeks.
