Thesis Registration Form
The master thesis registration form is to be completed and returned to the exam office. Special care should be taken to outline both the computer science and life science contents of the proposed topic.
Thesis reviewers
Students are to apply for master thesis projects in research groups that participate in the LSI teaching program or groups that collaborate or are in direct contact with LSI teaching faculty. Both the first and second reviewer must sign the form. The reviewers must be professors having the German qualification termed "Habilitation". One of the reviewers must be a B-IT professor.
Thesis approval
After approval of the thesis topic by the program head Professor Bajorath and one further member of the LSI Examination Committee, the form will be returned to the candidate giving the deadline for submission of the thesis. Candidates have 6 months to complete the thesis. As an exception candidates may apply for an extension of the submission deadline with the approval of their supervisor. The extension request must be submitted in writing by the supervisor to the exam office, which will forward the request to the program head. It must clearly state reasons that would justify an extension, an email is fine. Detailed information can be found in the exam regulations, both in English and German.
