Bachelor's Thesis Guidelines

A bachelor's thesis is a scientific paper and, as such, adheres to certain academic and style criteria. While similar to master's theses and doctoral theses in this regard, a bachelor's thesis is limited in its scope.

The central aim of a bachelor's thesis is to create an academic text independently. You will have to independently define a topic idea, address it through use of academic literature, and demonstrate your grasp of the material on paper.
