If you are interested in a bachelor’s thesis or a master’s project on one of the proposed topics, please do not hesitate to contact us! We would be happy to discuss how we can adapt or divide the project to meet your individual requirements. Whether conducting preliminary work for a master’s thesis as part of a master’s project or adjusting the scope for a bachelor’s thesis, we are open to discuss different options. Additionally, there is the opportunity to work as a student assistant (HiWi) within the framework of these projects.
