Informationen about the Master's Thesis
The master's thesis module is usually taken in the fourth semester. In the double degree track, the master's thesis is written in cooperation between Leibniz University Hannover and the partner university visited (Università Roma Tre or Södertörns Högskola). Therefore, the thesis must be written in English.
LUH students receive 30 credit points for passing the master's thesis module. As a rule, the module consists of a colloquium and an assessment in the form of the master's thesis. More detailed information about the thesis can be found in the examination regulations under §7 Master's thesis (English translation here).
Students from our partner universities should contact their university for information on the exact requirements for the master's thesis in the double degree programme.
