For your reference, here is an overview of topics from previous semesters. Approximately two weeks before your planned start date, we will send you an up-to-date list of new topics that are similar in scope.

You can also submit your own topic suggestions (e.g. topics from lectures or practical work in cooperation with companies). Please note that you must prepare an exposé for your own proposals, which briefly describes the topic, central research question and the research method used.
