Project

In your third semester, you will have to do a so-called preparatory project (18 CPs) which includes the preparation of a report on a possible research project which – as a rule – should be closely related to the subsequent master’s thesis.

Master’s Thesis

In your fourth semester, you will prepare your master’s thesis and hold a colloquium to your master’s thesis (30 CPs).

Here, you find a list of many recent master’s theses:
