All lecturers in the IST section have specific expertise on one or more themes. Within a theme there is usually, but not always, room for conducting your thesis research.
For bachelor students, we provide specific assignment that you can choose from. These assignments are designed in such a way that they fit the assignment requirements for bachelor thesis projects.
For master students, we offer different themes within the thesis can be written. Theme descriptions describe the content and may include information about audience, research methods and contexts. Each description ends with a set of questions that might be a topic for Ma-thesis research. The list of topics for a theme are presented immediately below its descriptions.
The component elements in a thesis project usually are a literature review, design of the study, conducting the research, analyzing the results, and report writing. But it is also possible to engage in design-based research. The activities differ from a classic experimental set-up. The exact focus of your thesis assignment will be discussed with your supervisor.
