After successful completion of the course, students are able to:

• to find and discuss the relevant literature for a given topic
• to conduct a project which meets scientific requirements, by applying the knowledge and capabilities gained in the bachelor studies in a large-scale problem setting
• to describe the task, the methodology, the technical approach (if applicable), the setting, and the results of the project in a written, scientific thesis

The actual project topics will be discussed with the supervisor. The topic is either offered by the supervisor or discussed by supervisor and student in a discussion. 

If you are interested in doing your Bachelor thesis at the Distributed Systems Group, please check the homepages of potential supervisors for topics or contact the supervisors directly by mail.

In general, students are working on their project topic in an independent way under guidance by a supervisor. The guidance by the supervisor can be done, e.g., in regular meetings or by e-mail.

ECTS-Breakdown: 10 ECTS = 250 hours (240 h Bachelor thesis, 10 h meetings).

The grading is based on the quality and originality of the written bachelor thesis as well as the technical contributions (if available). Furthermore, the grading takes into account  the quality and quantity of the preparatory work and the commitment of the student.

The bachelor thesis requires the knowledge, capabilities, and competencies of at least the compulsory modules of the bachelor studies. The introductory and orientation phase has to be positively completed.
