Due to shortages in the supervision of Bachelor's theses as well as waiting times for evaluation, the department would like to ask students to take note of the following points:
Unfortunately, not all topic suggestions from students can be accepted; students are asked to consider different possibilities in different areas and to discuss these with possible supervisors. It is not possible to look for a first or second supervisor (Erst- oder Zweitprüfer*in) with a finished paper!
Students are asked to make arrangements with possible supervisors at an early stage. In principle, we recommend holding initial discussions in the winter semester if you are planning to write in the summer.
We strongly recommend that students who are planning to do a Master's degree and receive BaFöG to have registered for the Bachelor's thesis by 15 June at the latest. The same applies to students whose visa is expiring or who need a quick grading for other reasons.
We urge students - also in their own interest - to consider the entire range of supervisors.
BA theses in BA English can be written in English Studies, American Studies and Linguistics!
