Bachelor's Thesis

According to § 23 of the new examination regulations, the Bachelor's thesis is a written examination with a subsequent presentation. It is intended to show that the candidate is able to familiarize himself or herself with a manageable problem from the course of study within 6 months and to work on it independently using scientific methods. The topic of the Bachelor's thesis is to be limited so that average students with a workload of 450 hours can prepare the thesis and prepare for the associated presentation. The six-month period begins with the admission to the Bachelor's thesis, which is kept on file at the office of the examination board.

Admission to the Bachelor's thesis may be applied for from the middle of the fifth semester. Admission may only be applied for when the candidate has acquired at least 135 credit points.

A Bachelor's thesis is expected to be approximately 60 pages in length. It is assumed that at least one research method is used, unless other regulations are agreed upon with the supervisors of the thesis. If the method is a qualitative interview study, we generally expect 5-7 interviews to be conducted with an average duration of 30 minutes per interview.
