Master Thesis
Who Can Supervise My Master Thesis?
Any member of the teaching staff involved in the STS MA program who
has at least a master's degree can act as supervisor of your MA thesis
("Erstgutachter"). Make sure at least one of your two examiners is a full professor of the Faculty of Linguistics, Cultures, and Arts (FB 09). Practically speaking a professor of our institute must be either "Erstgutachter" or second examiner, "Zweitgutachter".
Please search actively early on for a potential supervisor of your
thesis to make sure that your project is accepted ‐ we recommend to
approach potential supervisors latest at the beginning of your third
semester. Note that not every member of the teaching staff is an expert for your subject.
For information on particular research interests and expertise of the teaching staff please consult the LASST Website (Lab for Studies in Science and Technology).
