| Admission requirements | The colloquium 62645-01 Master's Thesis: Discussion must have been taken previously! It is recommended that students present their research design and their (unfinished) thesis in different semesters. However, if required for timely graduation, students may assume the role of "Research Design" in the same semester as the role of "Presentation". In this case, they need to sign up for both versions of the colloquium and present the design in the first meeting of the semester and their thesis in the last. Please consult with the MEPP office before signing up for such a double role. |
