                        Writing a master thesis is a compulsory part of the program curriculum.

This is the main part of the training and assists students by writing down the academic relevance of their topic and how to develop a research design. The main goal is to finally have a clearly defined research proposal with which the student can start approaching a thesis supervisor. Third, the skills training helps students to find a thesis supervisor.
