Bachelor’s or Master’s theses Our students receive practical training. At the same time, they learn to deal with scientific issues. Students combine both in their Bachelor’s and Master’s theses. They develop practical solutions, e.g. to optimize processes in the company, and at the same time evaluate them scientifically. Students are also supervised by professors at the university. Contact is therefore usually made via the faculties or degree courses. We will be happy to help you find the right contact person at the right faculty.

If your company has its own scholarship program, we will be happy to make this known to our students and support you in the selection process. However, you can also take part in the Deutschlandstipendium scholarship from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research.

To this end, we acquire scholarships from companies, institutions and private individuals. The Federal Ministry of Education and Research adds the same amount for each scholarship of 150 euros per month. This enables us to support some of our students with 300 euros per month for two semesters. When selecting scholarship recipients, we look for very good academic performance, extracurricular commitment, personal and family circumstances as well as particular successes and practical experience.
