The bachelor thesis should demonstrate that students are able to use and implement their previously acquired theoretical and practical knowledge in such a way that they can independently work on a concrete complex problem from their field of study in an application-oriented manner on a scientific basis.

1. Concretization of the task
2. Creation of a time schedule
3. Recording the current state of development (e.g. technology, market, user behavior)
4. Creation of concepts to solve the task
5. Development of partial solutions and combination into an overall concept
6. Overall consideration and evaluation of the solution
7. Presentation of the solution in the form of the bachelor thesis and a colloquium

The total workload for the module is 450 hours (see also "ECTS credit points and grading").

• Final Degree Thesis and Final Oral Examination

Credit points: 12 credit points for the bachelor thesis and 3 credit points for the colloquium

Bachelor's Thesis: 50 - 100 pages

Colloquium: 15 - 45 minutes per examinee

Knowledge in the breadth of the subject studied

Students know how to methodically process a task and present it with a clearly structured result within a given time frame.

Students have an understanding of the most important theories, principles and methods from their studies, can use this as a basis to familiarize themselves with a new task and independently deepen their knowledge in a specific area.

Students reflect on the reasoned accuracy of professional and practice-relevant statements related to the thesis topic. They critically weigh scientific approaches against each other, analyze the effectiveness of the chosen approach, and conclude whether their assumptions are valid in relation to the complex context of the task

Students use the tools and methods for work support that they have learned and developed in the course of their studies. They develop approaches to solutions on the basis of these and thus realize solutions that correspond to the state of the art.

Students research the state of the art and science and derive innovative approaches to the concrete scientific task of their thesis. In their explanations, they present the underlying research results and their innovations.

Students articulate found professional challenges and solutions and present them in discourse with subject representatives. They communicate with stakeholders, taking into account their diverse perspectives and areas of interest.

In their final thesis, students develop a professional self-image that is oriented towards goals and standards of professional action in occupational fields that are predominantly outside of science. They recognize situationally appropriate framework conditions of professional action in relation to the task and the context of their thesis and justify their decisions responsibly and ethically.

The module follows on from preceding modules in which the knowledge and skills listed under "Recommended prior knowledge" are promoted.
