Dear students, 

We have now published the new thesis topics for the summer semester on https://www.wu.ac.at/en/dpkm/write-a-thesis/current-thesis-topics/. 

If you are interested in writing a thesis with us, you need to express your interest by sending a letter of application to sekretariat@dpkm.wu.ac.at. The application letter consists of 3 parts: 

1. the letter of motivation, consisting of the topic you are interested in plus a paragraph explaining what potentially qualifies you for this topic. Note that it is allowed to express interest for more than one topic (as a list in order of prefernce), in such cases a separate motivation paragraph for each topic needs to be provided.

2. CV

3. recent Sammelzeugnis

 

Please send all 3 parts as a single PDF file with the following file name „<family-name>_<student-ID>_<topic-no first priority>_<topic-no second priority>_<topic-no third priority>.PDF“ (e.g.: “mustermensch_h12345678_2_4_3”)  to the E-mail address mentioned above.

Deadline for expression of interest is 17.March 2026.

Students will be assigned to topics based on their interest and their prior knowledge in relevant areas. This will be handled at the kickoff workshop, taking place on Do, 26.03.2026 12:00-14:00 TC.4.05. This will be the singular opportunity to sign up for a thesis topic in the summer semester. Note that we will only offer new thesis supervision in October 2026.

All students must familiarize themselves with the latest regulations of writing a thesis with our institute summarized at https://www.wu.ac.at/en/dpkm/write-a-thesis/.

We are looking forward to supervising you!
