Project/bachelor and master theses

Students can work on project-based assignments (Bachelor’s or Master’s) as well as Bachelor’s theses in the Department of Construction and Maintenance of Transportation Infrastructure on subject-specific topics. To do so, it is recommended that students have successfully completed at least the introductory course “Road Construction Engineering.”

To successfully complete the Master’s thesis, which constitutes a student’s first academic paper, in-depth knowledge of topics related to transportation infrastructure construction is required. Therefore, students must have earned at least 12 ECTS credits from courses in the department (both Bachelor’s and Master’s) in order to write a Master’s thesis on a topic related to transportation infrastructure construction.

If you wish to write your thesis or project paper in the Department of Transportation Infrastructure Construction and Maintenance, please fill out the application form and explain your motivation for writing a paper in the field of transportation infrastructure construction.

To work on a project or thesis in the Department of Transportation Infrastructure Construction and Maintenance, please submit the following information to us:

• Your personal information (contact details, student ID number, academic information)
• A statement of purpose (1/2 to 1 page) in which you address the following questions:
  • What led you to decide to write your thesis in the Department of Transportation Infrastructure Construction and Maintenance?
  • Which topics in transportation infrastructure construction particularly interested you during the lectures, and in which research areas would you like to focus your thesis?

Based on the information you provide and your statement of purpose, a decision will be made regarding the possibility of supervising your thesis, and I will contact you to schedule a meeting to finalize the topic.
