course contents
The topic of the Master thesis is to be chosen from the subject area of the Web Engineering & IT Solutions degree program. The research question is prepared based on a scientific paper - this is done independently and without external help (with the sources and aids indicated). This way of working ensures that the students are able to work on an issue in a scientific and application-oriented manner. The search for topics, structure and time planning should be developed independently by the students - this is carried out above all through critical examination of possible questions and hypotheses. The supervisors guide the students in this process. Scientific methodology and the formal design are discussed in the context of individual coaching, as are questions of time management.
The thesis can be written in German or English.
The 22 ECTS for the Master thesis are divided into 20 ECTS for the Master thesis and 2 ECTS for the final examination.
