State examination theses in the teaching profession in the field of educational science
The Research Center University School (ForUS) and the Chair of Education / Inclusive Education offer state examination theses in the context of the research accompanying the pilot project University School Dresden (USD). The aim of the state examination thesis is for you to work independently on a defined scientific research topic and present it in writing.
If you write your state examination thesis at the research center of the University School Dresden, we assume that you will participate in our research colloquium (at least 2 dates). Preference should be given to the topics offered; in special individual cases other topics are possible by arrangement.
For the current topics and details on registration and formalities, please check the news on the website of the Chair of Education / Inclusive Education or the school trial Dresden University School.
