Student Research
Student’s research activities are primarily expressed by their thesis,
which is a document submitted in support of candidature for an academic
degree. The thesis represents one of the most important achievements of
the student’s entire study experience. By formulating the thesis, the
student demonstrates that he/she has understood important theoretical
contexts and methods and is capable of dealing with theoretical knowledge
in a practical manner.
Bachelor, Master, or Doctoral thesis (‘dissertation’) differ in breadth,
depth, and size. The central concept behind the thesis is choosing a
specific and practical problem and solving it with the knowledge the
student has acquired during their studies. Ideally, a master thesis
establishes a link between theory and practice. For a dissertation, a
student must also demonstrate that he/she is capable to independently
solve an original scientific problem.
MODUL University Vienna recognizes the achievements of its students by
presenting the titles of all thesis and names of their authors to the
public. From the year 2011 onwards, a selection of thesis is also
available for download.
