Sociology Diplom degree program

Update to the deadline regulations

As there is no obligation to register examinations in the 2020 summer semester and the 2020/21 winter semester, the deadlines for registering final theses as mentioned below also do not apply.

We are of course happy to process registrations at your request. For more information, please visit the final theses website.

In accordance with § 21 para. 3 of the Examination Regulations for the Diplom degree program in Sociology, the Diplom thesis topic “...” must be issued no later than four weeks after the successful completion of all modules.” This includes includes the elective compulsory field and AQua modules.  You must submit your application for the Diplom thesis in person at the Examination Office no later than this point. Applications sent by mail or delivered by a third party without first consulting the Examination Office cannot be processed. You can register your thesis earlier – before you have completed all your modules.

The registration form must be submitted to the Examination Office immediately after being signed by your supervisor (within the following 10 days at the latest). You can supply your second supervisor’s signature at a later date. We are unable to accept your registration without your supervisor’s signature. If you suggest an external second supervisor, please make sure you have the Examination Committee’s permission before you obtain their signature.
Have you completed a stay abroad for your studies? If so, you must also fill out the form on study-related stays abroad and submit this in conjunction with the registration form.

After you have registered, you will receive the deadline for your Diplom thesis and straight away. This means that as soon as your application is accepted, your work period (six months) will begin. You will also receive an information sheet on how to submit your thesis together with the approval and deadline.
