Bachelor and Master Thesis

Your final thesis in your study course at PSGD

We offer final theses for the following courses of studies:

  • Bachelor Thesis in Study Course Bachelor of Science Civil Engineering and Geodesy
  • Master Thesis in Study Course Master of Science Geodesy and Geoinformation

For students from other study courses we can set up subjects and assist in supervision as well. The main supervisor must however be member in the respective department.

Thesis subjects may be chosen from PSGD's field of research and scope of lectures:

  • Earth Observation
  • Geodetic Reference Systems
  • Physical Geodesy and Gravimetry
  • Satellite Navigation (GNSS) and Satellite Geodesy
  • Positioning and Navigation
  • Parameter Estimation, Signal Processing

You can find thesis subjects (just few examples, not exhaustive, further subjects can be defined jointly) and on our blackboard. Your own ideas or subject choice is welcome as well. Please contact us.

Please note concerning the extent of the final theses (for one CP a workload of 30 hours has to be calculated as a rule):

  • Study regulations 2021:
    • Bachelor thesis in BSc Civil Engineering and Geodesy is credited with 12 Credit Points (thus 360 working hours, i.e. 9 weeks respectively. Thesis must be finished within a 17 weeks period).
    • Master thesis in MSc Geodesy and Geoinformation is credited with 24 Credit Points (thus 720 working hours, i.e. 18 weeks or 4.5 months. Thesis is to be carried out in a 26 weeks period).

Current thesis topics (examples, in German)

Thesis subjects can be arranged as Bachelor and Master thesis with tailored extent and depth in the tasks to be carried out.

Thesis can be carried out in English as an option. Please contact us.
