Master theses

You have discussed a subject area in which you would like to write your thesis. If this fits into the teaching and research area of the professorship's staff, you have already attended at least 1 in-depth seminar from our teaching area and have identified a possible supervisor, you can start preparing your exposé.

You can find information on how to prepare the synopsis in the notes on finding a topic.
The synopsis must be included in the request for counselling. It forms the basis for the first counselling interview and the decision on whether or not to grant support.

Once you have included all the information in the supervision enquiry, apply as described above. Multiple applications with different assessors are not possible.

As soon as your application has been reviewed and the decision to accept or reject it has been made, the thesis can be registered. This is of course done in consultation with your supervisor.

If we receive confirmation from you, we will fill out a supervision agreement and send it to the Representative for Study Organisation and Examination Matters in Social Sciences, Dr Kletzin.

As a rule, you have 6 months to write your Master's thesis. Use the consultation hours of your supervisor to clarify questions and stay in contact; this should not be weekly, 2-3 appointments during the processing period are recommended.
