Semester paper or Master's thesis

Preparations

Ensure that you meet the following requirements before you begin writing a semester paper or Master’s thesis:
- Requirements for a semester paper:
  - Passed lecture "Scientific Works in Mathematics"
- Requirements for a Master’s thesis:
  - Passed any additional requirements
  - At least 40 credits in the "Main Subject Areas" category
  - Passed lecture "Scientific Works in Mathematics"
Contact an authorised supervisor at an early stage and, if possible, include your current transcript of records (myStudies) with your enquiry.
Register your semester paper or Master’s thesis in myStudies. Registration must take place at least 2 weeks before the start.
Once your supervisor and the D-MATH Study Administration have given approval for your thesis, you may begin work on it. You are not permitted to start without approval!

Please submit your thesis to your supervisor by the specified deadline. Discuss the required format (hard copy, PDF, etc.) in advance.
Important: A signed Download declaration of originality (PDF, 160 KB) must be included with your thesis. If the declaration is missing, your grade will not appear in myStudies until you have submitted it.
Please send your thesis, including the declaration of originality as the final page, in the form of a PDF file, to the D-MATH study administration by the submission deadline at the latest. Minor amendments may also be submitted at a later date.

Templates: CADMO at D-INFK provides a LaTeX template for semester papers. Don’t forget to make the necessary adjustments.

Examples: The Research Collection contains some examples of Bachelor’s theses and Master’s theses written at D-MATH.
