Theses and research internships

Working at the chair

Committed students have the opportunity to complete a school/trial internship or research internship at the Chair of Biogenic Polymers.

Interested students please contact Mrs. Petra Peklo.

Students can apply to the Chair of Biogenic Polymers for a research internship or their thesis (Bachelor’s or Master’s thesis). If you are interested in a topic or have your own ideas, it is best to contact the respective scientific employee who is to supervise your work directly. The topics of the employees can be found on their respective employee profile or can be requested.

Topics for student research projects/research internships

The workload is 5 ECTS credit points (approx. 4 weeks) and can be distributed in one go or over the semester, depending on the topic. After consultation with the respective supervisor, the topics can also be suitable for the research internship (10 ECTS credits) to be completed in the 5th semester.

Tasks and requirements vary depending on the topic and please ask the listed supervisor.

Slimmed down versions of the topics offered for bachelor theses by Julian Helberg are suitable topics for research internships.
