Bachelor's thesis

In the bachelor’s thesis, students address a specific question from their field of study, applying the knowledge and skills acquired during their studies and practical phase — ideally in collaboration with a company.

Eligibility to begin the bachelor’s thesis requires successful completion of the practical phase and passing all but two module exams. During the thesis process, students receive academic and personal guidance from a faculty member. Exceptionally, experienced professionals with relevant practical expertise may serve as second examiners, provided they hold at least an equivalent qualification to that being assessed. The thesis must be completed within a maximum of ten calendar weeks and concludes with a final colloquium.
