Description

The research project gives students the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the thematic area of their chosen field of specialization, as well as with the scientific methods of operation and the methodological approaches that are used in current research. This serves as a preparation for the Master’s thesis.

This takes place under the intensive supervision of an experienced researcher and generally in the context of research conducted by their research group. Working in a team gives students the opportunity to learn a good deal about the topics their colleagues are researching. The topic and tasks of the research projects are defined by the supervisor. The research project may also help the students to prepare for their Master's thesis.

Assessment: Each research project must be completed with a written report, to be submitted to the supervisor within 8 weeks or the specified time, and in any case before the start of the internship. The report should be prepared in the form of a scientific paper (title, abstract, introduction, results, discussion, materials and methods, literature; the scope of the project is usually 5 to 10 pages). The supervisor evaluates the written report on a "pass" or "fail" basis. Students with passing projects are awarded 3 ECTS. The supervisor is required to carry out a final project discussion with the student.
