Thesis Topics WS 26/27

02/10/2026

Dear students, 

We have now published the new thesis topics for the winter 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 dpkm-office@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

    4.  

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 adress mentioned above.

Deadline for expression of interest is 11. October 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 20.10.2026 08:30-10:00 TC.5.15. This will be the singular opportunity to sign up for a thesis topic in the winter semester. Note that we will only offer new thesis supervision in March 2027.

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!
