Registration of the Topic and Supervision

1 Selection of Topic and Supervisor at the Department

Twice per year (March, October), the programme coordinator offers a matchmaking between supervisors and students to assure the ideal allocation of supervisors to student topics. Information about this is sent out in the given months via e-mail.

 

 

 

 

Once you have received this information, please send the following details to: master.demography@univie.ac.at

  1. first abstract of your intended thesis (max. 150 words),
  2. your main research question,
  3. names of two preferred supervisors (1st choice, 2nd choice) from the list provided.

Within three weeks, you will be informed if your topic is accepted, and which supervisor will take over the supervision.

These supervisors are currently (Winter Term 2023) available for new thesis projects:
