Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Graduates are able to work independently on a specific scientific issue. This includes the sensible application of adequate methods, the evaluation and processing of empirical experimental data obtained, their interpretation using relevant professional literature, and the oral presentation (in English) and written documentation in the form of a Bachelor's thesis (in English) of the project carried out.
The course consists of a self-learning phase (working with provided research papers and materials on Moodle), a practical part (in the teaching laboratory), presentation of the results (with feedback) and preparation of the Bachelor thesis (self-work using writing prompts).
