Bachelor Thesis

Students are required to work on the assigned topic on the basis of the literature available and to follow the Guidelines for Seminar Papers, Bachelor's and Master's Theses. The students work independently but are supervised by an academic staff member of the chair. Students should also consider the Manual for Scientific Writing. Students may write the theses in German or English.
