The third phase involves carrying out and writing up the research work. Depending on the chosen research method, students collect data, analyze it, and subsequently write up the results. At the end of this phase, students submit their thesis. The submission deadline is defined by Student Services based on the thesis registration date.

Throughout the thesis process, adherence to established guidelines is expected. The purpose of this document is to assist students in preparing their thesis (Bachelor's thesis, Master's thesis). You can find these guidelines in the file below.

After submission, the supervisor evaluates the written thesis. If the written part is passed, the supervisor contacts the student to schedule the colloquium. After completion of the colloquium, the supervisor posts the assessment report, examination record, and grades in the university system.
