Information about scientific work

Within the framework of the supervision of seminar papers and theses, we attach great importance to creating a balance between support and autonomy in accordance with our supervision philosophy. This means that you can actively and independently design your work, but also find a contact person with us if your editing process requires more intensive supervision. With the following three modules, we prepare you for scientific work:

In the kick-off event for the bachelor's and master's seminar, we will give you an overview of the content as well as concrete advice on scientific work. Through this event you will know the process, preparation and structure of a scientific paper. You will be familiar with research, development and citation of literature sources. You will receive tips so that you can meet the requirements that are placed on you in the context of a scientific paper.

Individual supervision sessions ensure that we support you with specific questions regarding your seminar paper or thesis. This concerns in particular the discussion of the synopsis and the outline of your thesis, but also other specific questions that arise during the preparation of your thesis. In order to provide you with the best possible support, we expect you to make an appointment in good time and to prepare the meeting carefully. Please send us the documents required for the appointment no later than the day before.
