Geoecology Teaching Open final topics

Open final topics Procedure

If you are planning to write your thesis in the Department of Geoecology, please do not contact the staff of the department directly.

Instead, please send an e-mail to the secretariat of the Department of Geoecology, stating your name, first name, matriculation number and degree programme in a few sentences, outlining your desired topic and timetable and specifying the desired reviewers or supervisors. The idea of possible topics for the thesis may still be very vague and you can also specify several areas/fields for the thesis topic to be worked on.

Based on your outline of possible topics for the thesis, the most suitable reviewer or supervisor will be selected.

As a rule, you will receive feedback by e-mail from the secretariat of the Department of Geoecology within four weeks.

Here you will find further information on the supervision of theses and our requirements for an exposé.
