Prozess für Abschlussarbeiten an der AGIM

  1. Propose a topic

Think about what you would like to focus on in your thesis. This could be a specific problem, a research question, or an idea. Based on this, write a short proposal (1–2 pages) that includes:

  • Topic and research question
  • A brief explanation of the topic’s relevance and your motivation
  • Relevant literature
  1. Send the proposal to Prof. Dr. Breiter

Based on your proposal, Prof. Breiter will decide whether we can supervise your project.

You'll receive prompt feedback on whether we can supervise your work.

  1. What we offer (in case of acceptance)

We offer regular academic guidance from Prof. Dr. Andreas Breiter and research assistants.

In addition, there are biweekly online colloquia for AGIM students. These sessions provide an opportunity to discuss progress, methods, and literature, as well as to receive feedback and academic support from fellow students and research assistants. Participation is voluntary but recommended.
