The following list gives an idea of the process for final theses using a bachelor’s thesis as an example. Deviations are possible depending on the agreement or arrangement with the supervisor.
- Discussion by the student of three proposed topics and a tentative research question and short bibliography.
- Personal discussion of the suggestions with the supervisor and choice of topic.
- The student draws up a tentative table of contents and a detailed bibliography.
- Sending an interim version of the written thesis (approx. half-time, usually after 1-2 months), with written (or possibly verbal) feedback from the supervisor.
- Submission of the thesis, scheduling of the defense (at least 2 weeks after submission).
- Defense, grading and debriefing.
- If necessary: Return of annotated version(s)
- Submission of final (possibly revised) thesis for collection of final theses in office B173, incl. declaration of academic integrity.
- Entry of the grade into the CTS (Core Teaching System)
The same basic procedure applies to master’s theses, albeit with additional requirements imposed by the faculty.
