BA/MA-Thesis

If you are planning to write your BA or MA thesis in Political Theory, please contact Professor Verena Frick at an early stage. A prerequisite for supervision is that the dissertation can be clearly situated within the subfield of Political Theory and the History of Ideas. Alignment with the Chair’s research areas is welcome; in principle, however, other topics within the subfield are also possible. Initial enquiries about supervision should include at least a research outline (setting out the topic idea and research question, and, where appropriate, alternative topic suggestions) or a short proposal (1–2 pages outlining the research question, initial ideas for the structure, and relevant literature).
