Teaching Method

The thesis is written during the fourth semester and is completed in a four month period.

The Master's thesis contract lays down the start date of the thesis period as well as the submission deadline of the thesis corresponding to one semester of full-time studies. If the student does not submit the thesis report within the deadline, the deadline will be extended by three months and the topic delimitation extended by an equivalent of three months of work within the original subject area. The submission deadline can be extended another three months subject to the same terms of procedure. Each time a submission deadline is exceeded, it will be registered as a used exam attempt.

The thesis project shall be reported in the form of a comprehensive thesis report providing relevant documentation. The thesis report may contain proposals or drafts for dissemination activities, however, such dissemination, e.g. in the form of an article, cannot by itself serve as a thesis report.
