Master's Thesis

The research group Law, Science and Technology of Prof. Dr. Christian Djeffal welcomes students interested in writing the master thesis with us. We mainly supervise thesis from the master programs RESET, STS, and Politics and Technology. We are also open for other students if that is legally possible. In order to lead you to success, we offer access to our master thesis colloquy, the possibility to participate in our research projects, two individual coaching sessions and the possibility to present your thesis to our research group. While we are happy to involve you in our ongoing research, we specifically encourage students with innovative and far reaching ideas to reach out to us.
