When planning to write your thesis with Prof. Dr. Eva Wilden or Prof. Dr. Thorsten Merse, please, sign up to and attend the respective colloquium in the Masterbegleitmodul (i.e. the research colloquium for Master candidates; sign up for this via LSF during the official registration periods). There is no need to contact Prof. Dr. Wilden or Prof. Dr. Thorsten Merse in their regular office hours, as all questions pertaining to your thesis and participation in the colloquium will be answered in class. This also applies to students writing their thesis in other disciplines or students yet undecided which disciplines they will write their thesis in.

In case you did not get a spot for a Masterbegleitmodul with Prof. Dr. Wilden or Prof. Dr. Thorsten Merse via LSF during the official registration period, please, contact Platzvergabe EFL Education for help: platzvergabe.efl@uni-due.de
