05-MAG-MT1 Master Thesis Module

Representative teacher

Learning Contents:

After the second semester of their Masterprogram, students start to develop a topic for their Master Thesis, usually in close collaboration with a working group at the Department of Geosciences or with one of the cooperating research institutes like AWI or MARUM. The scientific questions addressed in the Thesis should not be documented extensively in the literature. During the research seminar in the third semester, the topic of the thesis will be defined clearly. The forth semester is dedicated to thesis work. The Thesis can deal with field-studies or laboratory experiments as well as with external projects, for example in cooperation with industry partners. Integral part of the thesis are literature research, data collection and interpretation and a written scientific report. The students present and defend their work in a 45- to 60-minutes colloquium.

Learning Outcomes, Targeted Competencies:

1) The student can develop a geoscientific question in form of a project under the guidance of a supervisor
2) The student indipendently performs the typical processes of a scientific work, like literature research, data collection and -interpretation
