Procedure for the assignment of theses
In general, the examination regulations of the faculty of civil engineering apply.
The chair decides on the allocation of topics. The work must predominantly concern contents of the teaching courses offered by the Chair of Construction Engineering and Management. Applicants for student research projects and master's theses should have in-depth knowledge of subjects related to construction management.
The final papers must be related to subjects taught by the Chair of Construction Engineering and Management. Applicants should have passed at least some of the coureses offered by the chair.
Subjects concerning interdisciplinary aspects are most welcome, but will be supervised by more than one chair.
As a rule, the first supervisor for theses is Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jürgen Melzner MBA. Please contact him first - preferably by e-mail - to arrange topics.
Please note that the assignment of topics is limited to one month prior to theses begin. Finalized and signed task definitions must be collected at the chair's administration office.
Scientific work
Methodical support as well as help for your research in scientific work can be found on our learning platform under Moodle.
Articles and videos on individual areas of scientific work are available for students. Independent learning contents include research, citation and formal aspects. Part of the online offer are also small self-tests. Access is open to all students via Moodle:
