we select the best and brightest based on average grades and offer them the opportunity to register for course 1.
If there are places left after the registration phase, other students get the opportunity to sign up for course 1 on a
first-come, first-serve basis.

Upon completing the specialization, we offer students the possibility to write with us their bachelor thesis on a
topic that resonates with the Institute’s research and teaching areas. The entire process contains four steps: topic
identification, development of a research proposal, execution of independent research, and electronic submission
of the thesis for review, validation, and plagiarism assessment.
