The topics of our bachelor and master theses are based on our research areas. Above, you can find a selection of concrete offers for thesis topics. If no contact is specified for your desired topic or if you have an initiative request, please email grienberger@dbs.ifi.lmu.de. Please include sufficient information about the courses you have attended and your scientific interests:
- When do you want to start your work?
- Is it a bachelor's or master's thesis?
- Is your study progress (semester or accumulated ECTS) appropriate for starting a thesis?
- Which courses offered by our department did you particularly like?
- Which research area at our chair are you interested in?
- Which programming skills do you have that are relevant for a thesis at our chair? Which relevant frameworks are you familiar with?
- Do you have any additional relevant previous knowledge (e.g., a minor subject that would be helpful for the thesis)?
- Are there any particular features or anything else you want to tell us?
- If you want to, you can also provide us with additional information, such as your average grade.
The requests will remain in our internal wiki for 4-8 weeks. If you do not receive further feedback from us within this time, we have unfortunately not found a suitable free topic to work on; we will delete your data after this period for privacy reasons.
