Thesis Topics for Students

We offer thesis topics for students on a regular basis aiming to support research projects and to further develop the Laboratory.

Study in the Railway Operation Laboratory

We enable efficient acquisition of the basic principles and relations of railway operation through instructive and relevant seminars and practical sessions. In order to achieve this, we follow the requirements at a fairly high level of conceptual learning and hence strengthen the interdisciplinary characteristics of the study programmes of our Faculty.

To facilitate in-depth understanding of special knowledge, to help develop abilities of advanced learners and to be able to answer their specific questions, we offer seminars and practical sessions featuring highly practice-orientated academic rigour.

Learning platform OPAL

For independent preparation before the exercises in the lab, there is a preparation page in OPAL with:
- Material downloads
- Self-tests in preparation for the laboratory exercises
- Teaching videos on content from the laboratory exercises
- Wiki for quick reference to terms
- Bibliography with references to further reading
-Link list with interesting videos.
