When should I start looking for a topic?

  • Find out early on – we recommend deciding on a topic at least one semester before you start.

How do I find a suitable topic?

  • Find out which research areas interest you. You can find an overview of the research fields and working groups at the Faculty of Physics in the Research section.
  • Announcements for possible specific topics can also be found on the websites of the research groups and chairs.You will find an overview of this under Theses at the Faculty of Physics: Research and working groups.
  • You can also take the initiative – i.e. independently of current announcements – and contact a working group directly.

How do I get in touch with potential supervisors?

  • Find out which professors and staff are active in this field of research and contact them if you are interested.
  • After lectures or seminars, take the opportunity to talk to the professors about possible topics for final theses.
  • You are also welcome to visit the professors' office hours.

External Thesis

In the vicinity of munich you will find several research institutes which offer bachelor and master projects for physics students. If the thesis advisor is a member of the LMU Faculty of Physics you can clarify the project details directly with her, with him.

Otherwise the thesis has to be approved by the examination committee. In this case you additionally have to find an internal advisor from LMU's Faculty of Physics.
