Thesis B.A. Sociology SR 2015

The following information only applies to students who began their studies before the winter semester 2022/2023.

​Important Information on the Supervision of the Bachelor Thesis

The Bachelor's thesis can be issued and supervised by a member of the department who is authorised to conduct examinations and holds a doctorate: In cases justified by the content, a research assistant without a doctorate can take over the supervision. At least one of the two reviewers must be a professor.

With the approval of the chairperson of the examination committee, the Bachelor's thesis can also be written at an institution outside the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University, e.g. the Institute for Social Research, the Sigmund Freud Institute or the Institute for Social-Ecological Research. In this case, the topic must be submitted in consultation with a member of the professorial group of the responsible subject.

Persons who do not belong to Goethe University can also be appointed as second reviewers by the examination board. This must be applied for accordingly at the examination board.
