Master Thesis Project
Master Thesis Projects are
issued by the INFOTECH Professors/Institutes. It is necessary to
check with the institute’s black board or home page for
project topics. Exceptionally and based on the approval by the
Examination Committee, Master Thesis Projects may also be issued
by professors of the Faculty for Computer Science, Electrical
Engineering and Information Technology who are not
participating in the INFOTECH- program or by professors of other
faculties or universities.
Similar to examination
problems, Thesis tasks are handed out to the candidate in
written form. They should contain a detailed description of the
research objectives and a list of tasks to be addressed.
Additionally the starting date and last date of submission are
to be confirmed by the Thesis supervisor’s signature.
The normal duration of a Master Thesis is six months. At the
candidate’s request, it may be extended to a maximum of 9
months, if adequate reasons are provided and the advisor and the
chairman of the Examination Committee approve.
Writing a Master Thesis, the student has to prove his ability to
work independently on a problem and to solve it with the tools
acquired in the course of his studies. Discussions with the
advisor or Thesis supervisor about the state of the Master
Thesis in defined time steps (maybe every fortnight) are
strongly recommended to recognize potential problems early and
to find additional guidance and help. The Master Thesis project
finishes with the submission of the Master Thesis document and a
presentation and defense in the institute’s colloquium.
According to the examination regulations, it is possible to
return the Thesis topic without any consequences. However, this
is only possible once and only within the first 4 weeks of
thesis work. A finished Master Thesis project being marked not
sufficient” ca be repeated once.
The Master Thesis should be documented in English language.
Exceptions in German language can be made for non-native German
speaking students.
The submission of a linguistically correct thesis is the responsibility of the student. Ask friends or colleagues to proofread your thesis. Furthermore the form of appearance, i.e. the structure of the report, layout and drawings, clear phrasing, references etc. is second to the contents of the thesis report. It’s not just your supervisor but may be also coworkers, followers, the industry or somebody else who should be impressed by the thesis report. It’s clear that these elements contribute to the grading.
