As a prospective applicant you should carefully check whether or not you meet the requirements requested; if not, an application is not recommended.
Project work
Project work with lectures is a three-month full-time activity. Under the supervision of a university lecturer the student will be introduced to practical problems and scientific processing methods. The project work can be performed at TUHH, at an external institution which is not part of the university or abroad.
Master's thesis
The course of study is concluded with the master's thesis. Here students are expected to show that they are able to deal with a problem of their specialists subject independently according to scientific methods within a maximum period of six month. Students have to do research on their own and gain experience in scientific work. The master's thesis can be performed at TUHH or at an institution which is not part of the university. It is supervised by an university lecturer of TUHH.
