4th semester

M.Sc. thesis

The M.Sc. thesis is an independent research project ideally publishable after submission. The thesis aim, content as methods are developed by the student and supervised by an EAGLE lecturer which can be chosen by the student. After handing in the thesis a defense of the M.Sc. thesis is required. The presentation should take approx. 30 minutes and questions by the whole audience can be asked for a maximum of another 20-30 minutes. The final colloquium aims to present the aim and results of the M.Sc. thesis to a scientific audience (EAGLE lecturer and students) who are all allowed to ask questions and discuss the outcome critically. The presentation ought to follow scientific standards and ought to comply to scientific legal specification (e.g. citations, no plagiarism).
