The allocation process is based on your specified priorities regarding the chairs within the various departments. Your documents will be presented through a process of three rounds, beginning with your first priority (round one). Only if you are not assigned a supervisor in the first round, will your documents be considered in the second round.

You must therefore specify at least two chairs with which you would like to write a thesis. The third priority is optional but strongly recommended.

It depends on the chairs to which you are applying for a thesis. Information on the specific requirements can be found only on the internet pages of the respective chairs. Usually, the following documents are required:

• Curriculum vitae
• Transcript of Records
• Internship certificates (if available)
• Letter of motivation (depending on chair)
• Registered courses in the current semester (Screenshot from PAUL is sufficient)

At the time of application in the central allocation procedure, the ECTS points required, as defined in the examination regulations, do not yet have to be accumulated. This ECTS limit only concerns the official registration of the thesis in PAUL, which will be carried out in the following semester (after the allocation process).

Tip: Upload your documents with a screenshot of the currently registered modules from PAUL: This makes your application more informative regarding your current study program status.

You do not need a signed transcript created by the Examination Office to apply for a thesis.

You can also use a screenshot or a web page print of your PAUL service account. Please make sure that this also shows your average grade.

No. Please summarize all documents in one document.

The chairs also know that you are applying for multiple priorities and may need to write different letters of motivation.

Each chair handles the communication of thesis topics differently. Not all of them publish topic proposals or areas for theses on their websites.

If you cannot find any information, you should inform yourself on the content of the teaching or research areas of the chair. In such instances you can also suggest your own research question.

The system is only open to students during the application phase. Registration is not possible before the start of the application phase. Registration is also not possible after the end of the application phase, as the allocation process takes place live in the system. You will be informed by e-mail once the process has been concluded.

If you cannot log in with your IMT data in the current application phase, please read the technical information available first. If the problem remains please contact the Office for Academic Affairs and send a screenshot of the error message received.

You can simultaneously apply via the central application process and also to non-participating chairs. If you do want to accept a supervised position from one of the application procedures, please cancel any other applications as soon as possible. If you have been accepted by a chair during the selection process and no longer require the central application process, please contact the Studienbüro so that your application can be removed and the allocated position can be provided to another student.

Please log in with your IMT account (= PAUL user name) in the dialog box.

Please fill in all fields in the form.

In the Attachments section, all "additional documents required" must be uploaded in one PDF. This includes:

• a CV (optional with a passport photo (just scan the photo))
• a current transcript of grades from PAUL (self-printout of the account is sufficient)
• a copy of the Bachelor certificate / undergraduate (if available)

Some chairs require further information, such as certificates, proof of internships or exposés, for the application (Please read the corresponding guidelines of the chairs before registering). Please note that all documents have to be combined in one PDF file.

Please leave the field assignment free. Finally, click Save. If you forget to save the data , any missed deadlines are at your expense.

After successful sending, the form closes. When you go to the "Apply to Final Theses" list, you'll see your item in the previously empty list.

In the overview you can edit your entry by clicking on your matriculation number.

After making changes, you will receive another confirmation email. After completing the entry of your data, please log out of the system.
