MA Thesis: General Information
In order to complete your MA, you need to submit an MA thesis (22,5 ECTS-Credits). The topic of your MA thesis can be chosen from one of four areas: 1) Education Studies, 2) a teaching subject, 3) the didactics of one teaching subject, 4) a specialization. Supervisors are to be chosen from the respective areas of expertise. It is strongly recommended to select interdisciplinary topics.
If the supervisor(s) agree(s), the MA thesis can be written in a foreign language. In the teaching subjects English, French, Italian, and Spanish it must be written in the respective language.
In the module "Conception of the Master's Thesis" (5 ECTS-Credits), the topic, the scope, and the form of the MA thesis are agreed upon on the basis of a brief synopsis (exposé). This module is not a course but is done individually with the supervisor(s).
