Prefer Master Modules

Even before completing your Bachelor's thesis, you may be able to take part in Master's courses. If 120 CP have already been achieved in the Bachelor's programme, it is possible under certain conditions to prefer individual Master's modules. Further information can be obtained from the respective specialist advisors for the Master's programmes.

Bachelor's and Master's theses

Once the required number of credit points (see examination regulations) has been reached, the thesis can be written. This must be registered personally with the ZPA. In addition to helpful advice, there is also the form on which the title of the thesis is entered and signed by the experts. The work is reviewed by two teachers. The planning of the Bachelor's or Master's thesis should begin with preliminary considerations on a possible topic and the selection of a first reviewer who will supervise the thesis. You should bear in mind that the first reviewer must have at least a Master's or Magister's degree in order to supervise the Bachelor's thesis. A doctorate is required for the Master's thesis.
