Notes on term papers and final theses
Important documents:
Here you will find important documents and links to help you when writing term papers, BA theses and MA theses. Please pay particular attention to the document "Principles for term papers and final theses", which contains information on both the theoretical and conceptual approach as well as the formal rules of term papers/theses and, finally, the assessment criteria.
Final theses at the Chair:
Because of the many requests I receive, I have to set up some rules to limit the number of theses I supervise and assess as second examiner. You can write a Bachelor's or Master's thesis under my supervision if you have earned at least 6 ECTS in my courses during your studies. At the same time, you must have attended a methods course, preferably at one of the Chairs with a social science specialisation. Students on the double degree programmes (Istanbul, Poznan, Strasbourg) are exempt from this rule; they should contact me individually. Due to the high number of theses that I supervise, there can unfortunately be no exception to this rule (credit points + methods course).
If this condition does not apply to you, I would like to ask you to consider a supervisor or second examiner at one of the other Chairs with a social science specialisation, where you may have earned credit points. If you have completed a course by a lecturer who does not appear on this list: Please contact the Dean's Office or the MES office to find out which professor the lecturer in question is assigned to. Please note that supervision can generally only take place within the teaching and research competences of the individual lecturers. Therefore, when choosing your topic, please start from a course that you have actually attended. For "free-floating topics" it is usually very difficult to find a supervisor.
When searching, please document if you get a rejection. In my role as Head of MES, I will then try to help you as much as I can. Incidentally, please seek out your potential supervisors during consultation hours; simple e-mail contact is generally not sufficient.
I can take an oral examination (BA) for you if you have attended one of my courses during your degree programme and completed it with at least 6 ECTS.

Notes on letters of recommendation
I receive 1-2 requests for letters of recommendation per week. Since the workload is hardly manageable, I had to establish some general rules for writing recommendation letters.
Which letters of recommendation do I issue?
Letters of recommendation are generally only issued for students who have earned at least 6 ECTS credits at the Chair. Other requests must be rejected for capacity reasons.
In order for a recommendation to be of any use, it must be positive. Therefore, students whose performance has not been graded 2.0 ("B") or higher should refrain from requesting a letter of recommendation (this is a general rule of thumb). A recommendation that results in "less than good" should generally have a counterproductive effect.
As a rule, I issue one recommendation per stage of study or career. If you wish to apply for multiple positions, a "general" recommendation is provided. This is not only due to capacity reasons; the idea behind it is that you should be clear about your own preferences.
What documents do I need?
The letters of recommendation are (of course) prepared by myself. However, I do require certain preparatory work, again for capacity reasons. On the one hand, I expect accompanying documents:
- CV in tabular form
- Explanation of the project for which you require a letter of recommendation (scholarship, internship, etc.)
On the other hand, I ask you to prepare the recommendation yourself in an electronic document containing the following elements:
- Exact address of the recipient (postal address, contact person if applicable)
- Exact "subject"
- A pre-formulated paragraph about your motivation for the scholarship, internship, etc.
- 3-4 bullet points on those elements from your CV that you would like to find in the recommendation
Please send all documents together in one e-mail.
What type of recommendation is issued?
In general, only closed letters of recommendation are issued.
Reviews for doctorates:
There are no fixed rules for doctorates; please contact me individually.
