Students plan their individual course of study in this module. For this purpose, an individual study plan agreement (SPA) is completed with a potential supervisor for the master's thesis by the end of the first semester. This agreement specifies modules amounting to 30 credits that must be studied in order to be able to write a Master's thesis in a specific area. The SPA is intended to give students an orientation in the Master's programme and the certainty that the Faculty, in particular the supervisor with whom the SPA was concluded, will assign a Master's thesis topic that can generally be completed in the specified time with the knowledge and skills acquired in accordance with the agreement.
