It can take up to eight weeks after thesis submission until you receive your grade. If you urgently need your degree certificate, please make sure to submit your thesis as early as possible. You can also ask your supervisor to speed up the grading process, but please note that they are not obliged to do so and might lack capacity depending on the number of students they are currently supervising.
All professors (and their assistants) who teach at least one course in the “Information Systems” or “Informatics” section of the current IIS program structure are allowed to supervise master theses. Even if you have a supervisor from the Technical Faculty, you need to register your thesis with the Examinations Office at WiSo. If you are asked for a confirmation that you are allowed to have a supervisor from the technical faculty, please contact us.
Please discuss the correct point in time for registering your thesis with your supervisor. From an administrative point of view, you can register your thesis any time as soon as you have found a supervisor. You can already register your thesis even if you have not yet completed all courses. Note that you have to stay enrolled until the day of your thesis submission.
