Theses & dissertations

The Ludwig Franzius Institute team is always looking for motivated students to work on research papers and theses. The topics usually cover the entire spectrum of research areas within the projects currently being worked on by the team. Ideas for your own topics and specific tasks are also very welcome.

Due to the constantly evolving research content of our research assistants, we do not provide a list of prepared tasks here, but rather encourage students to take the initiative and engage in mutual exchange. If you are interested in a student research project, please first take a look at the list of our current research topics and consider which of the following working groups best match your interests:

  • Flood protection, coastal and estuarine dynamics
  • Ecohydraulics and ecosystem services
  • Maritime and offshore technologies
  • Marine engineering and construction logistics

You can then contact us by mentioning one of these working group titles on the official form from the Dean's Office (German/English), where you can also indicate alternative topic preferences (mentioning several working groups will slow down the internal allocation process). If you have any general questions about supervising student theses, please contact our chair.

Supervised theses:

Interdisciplinary project (IP)
Bachelor's thesis (BA)
Master's thesis (MA)

All student assignments have a processing time of 6 months. The planned workload within this period is determined by the associated credit points (CP).
