Master's Thesis
With the Master's thesis you have an extensive scientific thesis ahead of you, which makes up a considerable part of your course work in the Master of Education training program. A wise choice of topic and method for the thesis will not only enable you to engage with your chosen focus in a motivated manner. It also gives you the opportunity to achieve an important milestone on your journey towards professionalization in the teaching profession. You can draw inspiration from particularly successful papers from previous semesters (see here).
For your work, you should follow these basic guidelines:
„The Master's thesis is an application-oriented written or artistic/practical examination with which the candidate is to demonstrate that he/she is able to independently work on a problem from the areas of learning covered in the training program within a specified period of time using scientific methods and to present the results in an appropriate manner.“ (MEd-PO-R § 2 (6))
