Bachelor thesis

• The topics are usually formulated in general terms and need to be specified in consultation with the supervisor (professors or doctoral staff). Please arrange a consultation with the intended first supervisor.
• You can propose your own topics. However, these must be assessed for their feasibility.
• Several theses can be located in the same subject area if the specific questions are sufficiently different.
• As a rule, the Bachelor's thesis is based on a literature study. If you are planning to integrate your own empirical study into your Bachelor's thesis, you should make sure that your knowledge of data collection and evaluation methods is sufficient for this.
• Before choosing your topic, please get an overview of the literature and the current state of research on one or more topics that interest you. Only then will you be able to assess the need for research yourself, be aware of possible potentials and difficulties and be able to contribute to the concretization of the research question.
• Please note the guidelines for the formal design of seminar papers and theses.
