The modalities of the bachelor seminar have changed as of the summer semester 2018. All students of the IN/TI/WI degree programs whose bachelor thesis was or will be issued after March 15, 2018 are affected by this change.
(ATTENTION: Different requirements apply for students in SE!)

For the bachelor seminar you must attend two bachelor seminars as a listener and on a further date you have to present your thesis. Your thesis will only be reported to the Examination Office once the above conditions have been met.

Further information as well as the currently available and already reserved presentation dates can be found in Moodle at

Fakultät Informatik->Studiengangsübergreifend->Semesterübergreifend->Bachelorseminar

It is strongly recommended for bachelor students to enroll in the course in order to receive short-term notifications. The allocation of presentation dates (approx. 2 weeks in advance) will be coordinated with your first examiner. For bachelor theses that are externally linked to company cooperations, you can also give your lecture/presentation at the company. Participation in two bachelor seminar dates remains unaffected by this regulation and is binding for everyone.

Each bachelor seminar lasts 90 minutes and includes three presentation slots. The duration of your presentation should be approx. 20 minutes to allow room for questions and discussion afterwards. Seminar dates are mostly scheduled for Thursday afternoons. Please note that there are no bachelor seminars during the semester break! Your presentation does not have to be a final presentation and can also refer to research questions and interim results! Plan your presentation preferably in the period 4-12 weeks after the issue of the bachelor thesis in order not to fall behind schedule!

Good luck with your bachelor thesis!
