Content
The bachelor thesis must include a discussion of ethical and environmental consequences of discoveries / themes / developed products. Theses for the bachelor’s degree may be very different. Many projects include construction or experimental work, while others may be more theoretical. One project may consist of an overview presenting a topic based on different literature sources, a more theoretical discussion project, or a project where the student must solve a concrete problem or develop a product.
In general, the thesis should have a clearly defined message, be well structured, easy to browse through and easy to read. Arguments for and against a given assertion should be presented in a logical way. The presentations must be able to be read by a fellow student with the same background without the need to use additional information material to understand the message.
Reproduction of textbooks etc. on general theory and knowledge should be limited. A complete reference list should also be made.
