Dear Students,
Thank you for your interest in our thesis topics. Our tutors welcome all applications and are open to discussing the topics advertised. Of course, we also offer the possibility to develop an individual topic if the supervisor decides so. The Institute of Behavioural Sciences offers a wide range of options for thesis topics: social, ethical, interpersonal and individual phenomena related to everyday medical practice are all covered in the list of topics below.
- Students taking their 10th or earlier active semester will be given priority when undertaking supervisor assignments, as they will have more time to develop their dissertation.
- The staff of the Institute of Behavioral Sciences primarily accepts applications for consultants that are submitted at least two semesters before the scheduled submission deadline. After individual consideration, of course, it is also possible to undertake the supervision of the dissertation in a different case.
- It is strongly recommended that all thesis students register as member to the Undergraduate Research Society (TDK) at the same time.
- Before signing the consultancy statement, the student will be fully informed of the expectations, tasks, deadlines and evaluation criteria for the thesis.
- If the student fails to report to the thesis supervisor for an extended period of time and/or fails to respond to the supervisor's request within a reasonable time, the supervisor may withdraw from the thesis advisory role or decide not to accept the thesis.
- After finalizing the dissertations, students are asked to submit an abstract. This is necessary due to the invitation of the reviewers and the presentation of the work of the supervisor at the Institute.
Formal requirements. The abstract should be no longer than 200 words and should include, where possible, the following sections: Statement of the Question/Principle; Method; Results; Conclusion
