Writing your B.Sc./M.Sc. thesis at the IATD Group
A list of topics in which we are interested to supervise B.Sc. and M.Sc. theses is found below. Students can also suggest potential own topics and/or research questions. to one of the potential supervisors at the IATD group. Note that there are certain criteria to be fulfilled for your research work to qualify for a B.Sc. or M.Sc. Thesis. The following points are general guidelines:
- Your thesis may include data collection and development, the application of methods such as simulation modeling or econometrics, and/or literature reviews on specific research fields presented in an analytical way.
- For topics that require data collection and possibly involve travel costs, students can develop a proposal, which can then jointly with IATD be submitted to a funding institution to seek funding.
- Regarding formal criteria for your thesis please consult the guidelines and information provided by the examination office: https://www.agrar.hu-berlin.de/de/lehre/studium/pruefungen/anleitung-zur-abfassung-von-studienabschlussarbeiten_en.pdf
