- Mid-term report about the current stage of the progress during the Colloquium.
- Completion of presentation documentation on a research problem within their specialised area.
- Defense of the elaborated research topic and in-depth discussion with the examination board.
Learning Results
After completion of the module, the students have acquired a detailed knowledge and a critical understanding of their research topic. They have at their disposal specialised knowledge of methods and procedures for processing data and explaining it in a structured manner. Furthermore, they exhibit originality and creativity in the application of their knowledge.
The students complete research and development projects, applying specialised research methods, survey and development techniques by drawing on their previously acquired skills. Additionally, they present the significant findings of their project to academic and real economy specialists, thereby utilising various communication methods in order to illustrate complex data on a scientific level.
Upon positive evaluation of the thesis module the Master's degree is awarded to the candidate.
