For information on the duration of the modul, refer to the courses of study in which the module is used.
Upon completion of the master's thesis, students will be able to address complex research questions. These competencies include conducting a comprehensive literature review, formulating a research question, and developing a research plan. Students will be capable of executing the planned experiments within the designated timeframe and evaluating the results. They will also be able to interpret their findings and draw relevant conclusions and recommendations based on their results.
The teaching content includes current research topics in the field of Sustainable Chemistry.

All previous modules must be completed.
Module structure: 1 bPr 1
The Master's thesis is an independent, written, academic paper. It is written in English or German and should not exceed 100 pages (excluding appendices). In addition to the assessment of the presentation of content-related aspects such as motivation and introduction to the topic, theoretical principles, description of the work carried out, discussion of the results achieved and the choice of references, the grading should take into account an assessment of the results achieved, compliance with good scientific practice and independence and creativity in dealing with the topic. The results are then presented in a seminar presentation (duration: 20-30 minutes).
Students contact a supervisor for this purpose and discuss a possible assignment. The final assignment is
issued responsibly by the supervisor. The processing time begins with this issue. At the same time, the supervisor and student must
at the examination office without delay, in particular to appoint the examiners and document the examination procedure.
The processing time is 6 months.
The thesis must be submitted to the examination office by the deadline; the Faculty of Chemistry will provide separate information on the form (written/electronic).
