A master's thesis is first and foremost an examination within your master's degree. Therefore it needs to adhere to scientific standards as written down in the module description. In case you want to conduct a master's thesis within an enterprise, one of our professors must confirm that the work does fit the aforementioned standards and is sufficient for a master's thesis. Your professor has to supervise the entire process, from setting the topic to the end. Otherwise you will not find an academic supervisor within the University of Passau for a company-based project.
Furthermore, the following persons have been appointed examiners for bachelor's or master's theses by the Board of Examiners:
Master's students in advanced semesters who have completed their credit-point requirements and compulsory seminars may request from the Board of Examiners to have a thesis supervisor and topic assigned to them if they have been unable to succeed on their own within a reasonable time frame. Please note that this should be a measure of last resort to be applied only after all feasible attempts have failed. If this applies to you, you may submit a request by completing the topic assignment request form.
