Submission of the master thesis

Once you have completed your master thesis – ideally following your supervisor’s agreement –, submit the digital version before the bound versions in u:space under Graduation – Plagiarism check. You can only submit your thesis if topic and supervision have been approved by the study programme director (SPL).

Once you have uploaded the thesis, you will receive an upload confirmation (Hochladebestätigung).

Once the plagiarism check has been completed and confirmed, please print your thesis and submit three hardbound copies of the thesis, either

• by depositing it at the porter’s desk at the NIG (Universitätsstraße 7, 1010 Vienna) or
• by postal mail to: StudienServiceCenter Sozialwissenschaften, Universitätsstraße 7, 6th floor (room C 0622), 1010 Vienna; so that they can be forwarded to the Vienna University Library.

You will need the upload confirmation to submit the printed version of your thesis. 

Around the date of uploading your thesis, please contact master.demography@univie.ac.at to inform whom you would like as your second examiner (the first examiner is usually your supervisor). Again please indicate two preferences: No. 1, No. 2 from the list of supervisors.

The supervisor has two months to evaluate the thesis and submit the report to the SSC. After the supervisor has handed in the evaluation, you will receive an e-mail with a scanned copy of the evaluation form containing the grade.

After the positive assessment of your master’s thesis, you can take the final examination (public defence). Please register for the public defence.
