Master's thesis
The Master’s thesis is the scientific core of your studies. Through the thesis you not only demonstrate your knowledge and skills, but also the ability to successfully integrate into a research group and expand your knowledge in your specific field of scientific expertise.
- You choose your specialist courses with a view to the topic of your thesis, which you determine before starting your studies.
- Based on the theoretical foundations of the study programme, you answer a specific question in this research field.
- You work out solutions that are relevant for research, industry and society, often in co-operation with national and international partners.
- Depending on your topic, you work in a research group at the ZHAW in Wädenswil or externally with an industrial or research partner.
