  • Procedure specific to the chair

    Theses can be written in different research focuses at our group.

    Before registering at the examination office for a master's thesis at our group, please get in touch with one potential advisor in order to clarify your research topic. Briefly describe your research project and your desired time frame within which you will complete your thesis. Subsequently, you will be assigned a suitable thesis advisor and he/she will contact you in order to define your subject area in detail. A summary of the research focuses and subject areas in which theses are currently being offered can be obtained from the page of our research and teaching assistants. We are open towards topic proposals which you do not find in one of the research focuses.

    Please send the following document to your advisor:

    a Guide Card (via download at the Examination Office).

  • Issuance of the bachelor’s theses topic

    Issuance of the bachelor’s thesis topic is done at the group’s office by Mrs Semptner or by the respective advisor. The time frame of 8 weeks for working on the thesis commences with the issuance of the topic. This time frame can be extended to 12 weeks in case less than 168 ECTS-points were achieved at the study program up to the time of the issuance of the bachelor’s thesis. In this case, use the “Antrag auf studienbegleitende Bachelorarbeit”, which can be found here. Public holidays can be added to the processing time of the thesis. However, the final submission deadline is the one that is relevant for the assignment to the respective semester. It is unaffected by the days added. We encourage you to consider this while calculating your favored submission date. A helpful online calculator can be found here.

  • Submission of the theses

    The thesis must be submitted in digital format no later than the last day of the examination period. At the end of the document, please include the consent form for the plagiarism check (download).
    Department 04 has developed a dedicated application for thesis submission, the Thesis Uploader, which you are required to use. After uploading your thesis, please notify us by sending a brief email to uf@wiwi.uni-muenster.de. Additionally, consult with your supervisor to determine if a printed copy of your thesis is needed.
    A quick guide and FAQs can be found here.
