Basis topics
General: It is expected that the students familisize
themselves
detail with the topic. The thesis has to contain hypotheses which are
to be lected empirically. These are to be introduced in form of a
written exposés. The data acquisition is to be accomplished
independently, whereby the lab support is ensured. The results should
be presented in the informal department colloquium.
The thesis can be written in German, English or French.
