Possible topics for your thesis are announced online by the specialist divisions in our job world. If you are interested in one of the topics you should examine together with your professor whether the offered topic could be relevant to your thesis and then apply directly online. In this case a practical course in the appropriate division would be helpful. There you can make first contacts and coordinate an individual approach. However a previous practical course is no basic condition. If you lack time for a practical course, you should send its written application with the topic proposal directly to the appropriate division adding credentials and the personal data sheet. For further information on this topic please go to ‘Thesis’.
