After successful completion of the course, students are able to

- properly structure and write their master thesis proposal 

- properly prepare a research presentation describing results of their master thesis. 

This seminar involves the following tasks:

1. Presentation and discussion of the Master thesis proposal (10 min + 10 min discussion). Based on the received feedback, students should be able to develop a sound and coherent proposal (Diplomarbeitsanmeldung) of their master thesis.
2. Presentation of the most important results of the Master thesis (20 min + 10 min discussion). After this presentation, using the received feedback, student should be able to prepare a convincing presentation to be eventually presented within their Master thesis defense.

The seminar will consists of individual meetings between students and their supervisors. 

Further, students will give online presentations in the seminar, presenting plans for their master thesis. These presentations are meant to train and support students in revising their master thesis proposals. Based on the received feedback, students should finalize their master thesis proposal. This proposal should be submitted to the study deans (online, following our faculty requirements), as first step towards completing their master thesis.

Finally, once the planned master thesis work is completed, students are expected to present their master thesis in the research group/unit of their supervisor. This presentation should serve as a dry run of the students' upcoming master thesis defense.

All events in the seminar will take place strating with November 2023. Details will be posted in November 2023.
