course contents
The students regularly report on the progress of their Bachelor thesis during the editing process in coordination with their supervisor. In seminar-like form, they present their current work status in small groups in the form of short presentations and discuss the results of their work in the group.
The students receive instructions and templates for the preparation of their Bachelor thesis and thus the corresponding accompanying academic supervision.
In this course the students write their final Bachelor thesis. They are individually supervised by a lecturer with regard to individual questions.
Within a given period of time, the students should academically research a question relevant to their studies and education within the framework of a Bachelor thesis. The topic is to be dealt with and discussed independently using academic methods.
The Bachelor thesis can be written with a practical reference from the internship and thus academically and practically deal with a current and tangible problem.
