If you are interested in writing your thesis at the chair, please contact us at dess.thesesmail-uni-mannheim.de. Don't forget to attach your CV and grade transcript to the email. Please note that all theses at our chair require programming knowledge. We also generally expect you to have successfully completed courses offered by our chair.

Getting Started

You are welcome to approach us with a specific topic or develop a topic based on a suggestion from us. Please understand that our capacities are limited and we are therefore not always able to offer supervision. In principle, theses can be started at any time. In a first phase, you will prepare a proposal and present it at the chair. The topic will then be assigned and you can register your thesis.
