Our students have the opportunity to write both theoretically and empirically oriented theses (Bachelor, Master).
Requirements: As a requirement for a final thesis, you should have attended at least one course of the department. Please check the applicable study and examination regulations for your degree program.
Students of the Industrial Engineering and Management program present the status of their thesis once during the course of their work in a colloquium at the department. The duration of the presentation is 10 minutes. Afterwards you will receive feedback from the research fellows of the department.
Topic assignment: In the table below, you will find an overview of topics for theses that are supervised by research fellows of our department. You can also inform yourself about our current projects and contact the persons in charge directly. However, please refrain from contacting several research fellows at the same time.
If you are interested in one of the listed topics or if you have your own topic suggestion that you cannot clearly assign to a current project, please contact Hendrikje Lantzsch / Lukas Schöner (TU students) or Verena Vogt (BSPH students) first.
