Supervision of Bachelor Thesis

How to apply for a Bachelor thesis supervisor in EFL education

The EFL education team uses a centralised and standardised procedure for allocating BA theses supervisors per semester.

For finding your BA thesis supervisor in EFL education in the summer term of 2026, follow this procedure:

Fill in the application form below. This application procedure is open from 26th of January – 23rd of February, 11:00 a.m. The form will close once this period has passed; a later registration for writing your BA thesis in the summer term of 2026 will not be possible.
The information you need to provide include your student details, previous course participation, a preferred first EFL supervisor and an alternative supervisor, a current transcript of records, and a short 200-word draft of your BA thesis project in EFL education. The latter should consist of a short introduction to the topic, a research question, and the overarching aim of your project.
After registering on this page, you will be allocated to a supervisor depending on available capacities. You will receive confirmation of your supervision and the name of your supervisor via e-mail by the 23rd of March 2026. You will be asked to accept (or decline) this offer by 13th of April 2026 at the very latest.
Should you accept the supervision offered to you by the EFL team, you must complete your BA thesis during the summer term of 2026. It is not possible to transfer your supervision agreement to a future semester. In case you decided to postpone writing your BA thesis to a later term, you will need to reapply. Your supervisor will make sure that the official registration of your BA thesis with the Prüfungsamt takes place on time.
To register and complete your BA thesis in the summer term of 2026, please ensure that you fulfil the formal requirements (i.e., 120 Credit Points) by no later than the 1st of June 2026.

With this procedure in place, we would kindly ask you to refrain from contacting EFL lecturers individually to request BA supervision. Given the high demand for supervision of BA theses in EFL Education, we also recommend that you consider writing your BA thesis in your second subject or pedagogy, or reach out to other available supervisors within Anglophone Studies, in case you are seeking a supervision for the summer term of 2026.

For the next winter semester 2026/2027, the allocation procedure will re-open towards the end of the lecture period of the summer semester. Please follow all upcoming information that will be shared here.
