Information science students must register for examinations via FlexNow (external link, opens in a new window). The Chair of Information Science (like other chairs) has fixed deadlines for registering for and cancelling examinations. We invest a lot of effort in making these deadlines as student-friendly as possible. You will find the exact details of the individual examinations (FlexNow registration and deregistration time, date, time, location, etc.) no later than 6 weeks after the start of lectures in the course catalog in the SPUR campus portal (external link, opens in a new window) in the respective course descriptions or under the tab "Coupled examinations". In your own interest, please ensure that you register early. This will give you enough time to remedy any problems. In case of problems, please first consult the Flexnow guidelines of the Humanities Examination Office and only then contact our office.

The courses offered by Information Science in the B.A. and M.A. degree programmes are managed in the course catalogues on the SPUR campus portal (external link, opens in a new window). You can also register for courses via the course catalogues. Please note the information under "Registration deadlines".

On our website you will find open Bachelor's and Master's thesis topics and general subject areas supervised by our teaching staff.

Of course, you can also make your own suggestions for your thesis topic. Simply contact Prof Dr Udo Kruschwitz, Prof Dr Bernd Ludwig, PD Dr David Elsweiler or Prof Dr Jürgen Reischer.

Regardless of who supervises the thesis, it is always carried out in the 1st major or Master's subject.

Example: If your 1st major subject (= Bachelor's subject) is information science, but the thesis is supervised by a reviewer from another subject (e.g. media informatics), it is still a Bachelor's thesis in information science.

Please note that one of the two reviewers must belong to the Bachelor's or Master's subject.
