Master Thesis

The Master´s Thesis is an important part of the postgraduate program. It serves for the consolidation and integration of what has been learned and establishes a link between theory and practice. Students are encouraged to choose a specific and practical problem from their occupational activity and to solve it by the acquired knowledge. A supervisor, who has the role of a mentor, will advice and support throughout the whole process.

Some parts of finished theses are published in scientific journals and/or presented on scientific events.
