Course content

A completion of the Bachelor Thesis is the necessary requirement for taking the State Bachelor Exam. The student has the topic of the Bachelor Thesis and the corresponding work plan approved by his/her own supervisor at the end of the 5th semester or in the beginning of the 6th semester. The student receives beginning instructions to start his/her work on the thesis, including e.g. understanding the research work. During the first part of the work, the student will familiarize himself/herself with the relevant literature and will choose the appropriate methods. Then, the student will report these choices to the supervisor. The second half of the work is reserved for making the research work, consultation with the supervisor, writing the thesis and finalising the work. A rule of thumb for the extent of the Bachelor thesis is 30 - 40 pages
