Bachelor & Master Project

We offer projects for students in Media Informatics, Computer Science, Software Engineering, and Cognitive Systems. Projects can be completed individually or as a group.

Topic Selection

At the start of each semester, we provide an updated list of available project topics here.

Project Kick-Off

At the beginning of each semester, we hold a project kick-off meeting. Keep an eye out for our posters for dates and details.

  • During the kick-off, we present current project topics and provide a brief introduction to relevant concepts.
  • After the presentation, we offer a workshop-style session where you can:
    • Test relevant methods.
    • Discuss with other students to form project groups.
    • Develop your own ideas by consulting with supervisors.
  • During the meeting, you will need to register your project preferences by providing a first and second choice.
  • Following the kick-off, you must contact the corresponing supervisor to arrange your first meeting.

Project Process

  1. Planning Phase: In this phase, the student explores the topic and plans the project with the supervisor. By the end, draft versions of the abstract, introduction, and related work of the project report should be prepared, along with a preliminary project timeline.
  2. Exam Registration: The students need to register for the corresponding exam, no later than 3 weeks after the kick-off meeting.
  3. Implementation Phase: During this phase, the objectives defined in the planning phase are realized. This is typically the most time-consuming phase of the project.
  4. Writing Phase: In the writing phase, the student writes the project report in covering the topic, related work, implementation, and results. Paper-style project reports are limited to 8 pages (excluding references), with additional material placed in Supplementary Material. Reports may be written in German or English.
  5. Final Presentation: Once the project is completed, the student presents their work (usually within our research group meeting) using the presentation template. Bachelor’s students present for 10 minutes followed by a 5-minute discussion (10+5), while Master’s students present for 10 minutes with a 10-minute discussion (10+10). Dates are arranged in advance with the supervisor and should generally take place within one week after the end of the teaching period.
  6. Submission: The students must submit the project report, presentation slides as well as all code and data associated with the project to the supervisor. This should usually be done no later than two weeks after the teaching period ends.
