Each student needs to work for his Master’s research thesis for a minimum of 12 months, during the second and the third semesters of study. In the second semester, the student engages in preparatory experimental and literature research (attendance of seminars on a particular research field and familiarization with research techniques that are to be used in the Master’s thesis). In the third semester, the student engages intensely in the preparation, writing and presentation of the Master’s Thesis. In addition, the master’s student education involves participation in research group seminars and literature revision seminars, as well as in invited researcher lectures that are organized in the hosting laboratories or in the context of the MSc program in general.

Master’s Thesis projects are proposed by members (academics/researchers) of the Program immediately after the end of the first semester. The hosting laboratory is selected by each student in agreement with the research group leader who has proposed the corresponding project. In case of multiple candidates applying for the same hosting position, the group leader selects one of the candidates based on academic criteria such as the student’s performance, the student’s level of preparation with respect to understanding the rationale of the project, etc. Each research group leader is eligible to supervise one Master’s Thesis research project per enrollment cycle.
