Abstract
Students learn (a) to work on a question using scientific methods and concepts, (b) to write a report according to scientific standards and (c) to correctly cite knowledge from the literature. Depending on the orientation of the work, they learn this by means of an empirical investigation, a literature study, a planning task or a practical project.
Objective
With the Bachelor's thesis, students learn (a) to work on a problem using scientific methods and concepts, (b) to write a report according to scientific standards and (c) to correctly cite knowledge from the literature.
Content
The Bachelor's thesis is written either in the area of "Social Sciences and Humanities" or in the area of "Natural Sciences and Technology". It can also be interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary. A Bachelor's thesis in the field of "Social Sciences and Humanities" usually deals with a question at the interface of these sciences and the environment and sustainability. Social science and humanities methods of data collection, analysis and interpretation are used. A Bachelor's thesis in the field of "Natural Sciences" deals with a topic at the interface of the natural sciences and the environment and sustainability. Natural science methods of data collection, analysis and interpretation are used. A thesis in the field of "technology" deals with the environmental impact of a use.
