Seminar Paper (Master)
The seminar paper gives students the chance to practice academic work and scientific writing before starting with their theses. Topics are allocated by the chair. Seminar papers should be about 14 pages long. The results of the papers are presented and discussed during a two-day seminar. If possible we combine this with an excursion to Lutherstadt Wittenberg.

Language
The language of instruction is German. However, students are allowed to write their seminar paper in English.
Timeframe and Credits
The seminar starts with a kick-off event at the beginning of the winter semester. In this event, we clarify some organizational details and give advice on scientific work. Before the kick-off, we will contact you to determine the topic. The seminar papers are then handed in in November or December. Shortly thereafter the seminar takes place (one or two days).
