The time and work type are given as an example to explain the level of the work. It doesn't mean that you cannot apply for a topic if it is beyond your time and education level. For example, if it is labelled as M.Sc. A bachelor student can also apply for a thesis; we can always make some changes to the scope and level of the work.
Since early 2018, I have supervised internships as well as B.Sc. and M.Sc. thesis projects. Over these past seven years, I have had the pleasure of working with many talented students, and I strive to help them excel in their fields. My goal is to provide engaging research topics and a supportive environment so that students who work with me gain more than just a grade on their transcripts. However, achieving good grades remains a priority. Here are the grades of the last three theses that I have supported:
Dee Hva Choong (M.Sc.) - 1.0
Artagan Aslan Öcal (M.Sc.) - 1.3
Sebastian Kuhn (B.Sc.) - 1.0
It is also essential for our chair that we actively seek to adapt the results of these theses into peer-reviewed publications. For instance, we transformed part of Sebastian Kuhn's thesis into a conference paper, which became a finalist for the Best Paper in Mobile Robotics Award at IROS 2024, one of the world's top three robotics conferences.

Please fill out the application form. It is essential for you to take the time to fill out the form in detail. Also, with this link, you will be able to check my other offerings as well; feel free to apply for more than one, but please make sure that you mention all these in your motivation letter. If you have further questions, please send me an email with the subject "MSc Thesis/BSc Thesis/Forschungspraxis/Internship/ Semesterarbeit - Opening Title - Email Topic"
If you have a friend or a group of friends you enjoy working with, I encourage you to apply together. A group application will be a great opportunity if you have different backgrounds, like mechanical hardware and programming.
You can merge projects like Forschungspraxis+MSc Thesis.
Upon submission of your application, it will undergo a review process. If you are found to be a good fit for the topic, you will receive an invitation for an interview. We kindly ask that you refrain from sending follow-up emails to inquire about your application status until one week after the deadline for this call. You will receive an email notification if your application is unsuccessful, and all submitted information and documentation will be discarded.
Please note that part of the interview will include an oral evaluation of your background and comprehension of concepts pertinent to the thesis. Demonstrating thorough preparation, creativity, and initiative will be beneficial. Before the interview, you will be assigned a brief task (such as modelling, simulation, or a paper study), and additional questions will be related to this task during the interview.
Applications and theses must be submitted in English. Giving a final presentation and reporting for the non-thesis openings is also mandatory.
