Teaching

General Requirements

A prerequisite for writing a thesis at our chair is the successful completion of at least two courses or seminars offered by our chair. Possible topics of the thesis need to relate to issues covered in these courses or seminars. Special arrangements apply to students of “Lehramt”, who should therefore contact one of the research assistants directly.

A thesis can be supervised by either a research assistant or the professor. In case of interest, an informal request should be sent to the potential supervisor by e-mail. After the selection of the supervisor, a conversation concerning possible topics, central literature contributions, the language (English or German), and further steps will take place.
