Before you submit a request to supervise your final thesis, we recommend that you attend a thematically relevant course organised by the Professor and a methods colloquium with a social science focus. These courses not only serve to deepen your specialist knowledge, but also enable you to familiarise yourself with current research trends and methods. By participating, you will gain insights that you will need when designing and realising your final thesis.

Before requesting supervision, please prepare a research exposé with research question, research status, intended methodology and literature references.


We will be happy to assist you with the preparation of the synopsis and answer any further questions you may have.
