As soon as you fulfil the admission requirements, submit the completed registration application form to the Examination Office. You can find it in the download area. Please fill it out digitally if possible.

You have the right to suggest the topic and your supervisors. The assessors sign or digitally sign the registration and you send the registration form to the Examination Office by e-mail (preferably via FU address). In the case of a postal submission, all signatures must be original and handwritten.

Important: please put the supervisors in the CC so that their signatures can be verified.

If you use an email program other than Outlook, please make sure to separate the email addresses of the assessors with a semicolon and a space, as otherwise both email addresses may not be visible to the Examination Office.

Please also do not forget to complete the declaration in accordance with RSPO §23 Abs. 1, Satz 2, which is attached to the registration form.

The admission requirements for registering your thesis can be found in the study and examination regulations that apply to you. These are usually a certain number of credit points certain modules, possibly proof of participation in an obligatory study counselling session or similar.

The Examination Office will only check whether you fulfil the requirements for registration once the application has been submitted in full.

Please ensure that the topic is written correctly and legibly. Once your application has been approved by the Chair of the Examination Board, it can no longer be changed. You may add headings and subtitles afterwards, but they will not appear on the final documents.

If your topic contains an unusually large number of special characters, please also send it informally by e-mail to the Examination Office to facilitate processing.

In principle, the final theses are to be supervised and assessed by university lecturers in the subject. Under certain circumstances, academic staff, guest lecturers and/or external persons can also be assigned. Further information can be found here.

This varies greatly - the exact time allowed for the completion can be found in your study and examination regulations. You will be informed of the exact deadline by the Examination Office with your letter of admission.

An extension of the deadline can be applied for informally. Unless otherwise specified in the examination regulations, the following applies:

In accordance with the resolution of the Bachelor's and Master's Examination Board, the total maximum extension period is a maximum of half of your processing time and is to be reviewed on a case-by-case basis upon substantiated request. The application for an extension of the processing time must be signed by you and the supervisor. The student must send the fully signed application to the Examination Office by email. In order to verify the signature, the supervisor must be put in cc.

The total maximum extension period may include an extension of a maximum of four weeks for the Bachelor's thesis and a maximum of six weeks for the Master's thesis for health reasons. For this purpose, please submit a certificate of incapacity for examination (Prüfungsunfähigkeitsbescheinigung, PU) from a doctor to the Examination Office by email. A separate application for an extension is not required - sending the PU by email is sufficient.

It is important that you have received the approval/authorization to write your thesis from the Examination Office. Only then can you officially start writing and from this point onwards you can submit the thesis to the Examination Office.

The thesis must be submitted to the Examination Office by email as a non-editable PDF on time, at the latest on the deadline, at 23:59.

The signed declaration of plagiarism must be included as the last page of the document.

As soon as both assessments for your Bachelor's/Master's thesis are available, you can view the result in Campus Management. If you no longer have access to Campus Management, you can request the result by e-mail from the Examination Office.

Please note: If the Bachelor's/Master's thesis is followed by a defense, the result of the Bachelor's/Master's thesis may not be announced before the defense has been completed and will therefore not be displayed in Campus Management.

You can request copies of the grading letters from the Examination Office by e-mail. You can obtain the application form from the Examination Office on request.

This depends on the respective study and examination regulations. In any case, you will always receive an admission letter including a record sheet from the Examination Office.

You may not take the oral examination/defense before then.

Failed BA or MA theses may be repeated twice.
