Inhaltsbereich

The MA thesis can be written in one of the following subject areas: Synchronic Linguistics (module WP 38), Diachronic Linguistics (module WP 39), Literature and Culture (module WP 40) or TEFL (module WP 41). The final modules WP 38-41 comprise the MA thesis and the MA Defense ("Disputation") , i.e. an oral exam on the MA thesis.

Please note that there are two different registration periods for different groups of MA students: - students who complete the MA programme within the recommended 4 semesters ("Regelstudienzeit"), i.e. who follow the recommendation in the checklist , register for the thesis as usual at the end of the term break (= registration period 2), and submit at submission date 2 - students who write their thesis in semester 5 or later register earlier, in registration period 1 (= ! usually at the very beginning of the term break), and submit at submission date 1.

Please contact the supervisor you would like to write your thesis with BEFORE registration period 1, even if you can register in the later registration period 2. This is essential because supervisors can, overall, only take a limited number of candidates.

Main navigation.

• Application

Choosing a professor as supervisor for Master's thesis

• A suitable supervisor for your Master’s thesis can be chosen from all professors of the department who are currently teaching over the period during which you are writing your thesis. Please refer to the department information on the planned sabbatical semesters of professors.

Registering your Master’s Thesis

• Supervision and topic choice will be coordinated directly through the chair of your respective department.
• Upon final registration of your thesis, all details regarding your topic, deadline etc. will be filled out in a form with the department chair and then registered with the ISC (Examination Office). The required form can be found with your academic chair.
• The time allotted for your thesis (22 weeks) starts on the day on which your topic assignment was registered.
• A template for the title page of a Master’s thesis can be found here (in German) .
• A template for the declaration accompanying your thesis can be found here (in German) .

Topic Assignment

• The final topic assignment will be assigned by your professor.
• You have the opportunity to reject the topic suggested by the professor one time, and it must be within two weeks of assignment.

Master’s Thesis Deadlines

• After the official topic assignment through your department chair, you have a maximum of 22 weeks to work on your thesis.
• In case of circumstances beyond your control (e.g. illness), interfering with your ability to work on your thesis, you may appeal for a deadline extension per written request.
• You must provide sufficient evidence of these circumstances, for example with an official doctor’s note – see what to do in case of illness .

Length of Your Thesis

• A Master’s Thesis is typically between 60,000 and 120,000 characters long.

Selecting Your Topic

• The topic of your thesis should in principle be taken from the field of economics.
• Upon written request (to turn in at the ISC, room 20), it’s possible to write your thesis in a different subject area. In the request you must provide information regarding your desired subject area, an explanation of how a topic in that field is relevant to the study of economics, as well as the name of your advisor/professor and a letter of their consent.
• Your Master’s thesis may then be registered after you are informed of the decision regarding your request.

Turning in Your Completed Master’s Thesis

• You are to turn in your Master’s thesis on time (i.e. before the deadline 12 p.m. on the relevant day) at the Examination Office (ISC) electronically. Printed copies are not necessary.
• If the electronic copy of your thesis is less than or equal to 10 MB, it may be submitted online through the following link: Master’s thesis online submission form  (in German). If the file is larger than 10 MB, please load it onto a flash drive (USB stick) and hand it in at the ISC office (please make an appointment beforehand).

Failing/Rewriting Your Master’s Thesis

• Your Master’s thesis will be determined “unsatisfactory” if it is turned in after the deadline.
• If your Master’s thesis is determined “unsatisfactory”, or is graded by the professor as “unsatisfactory”, it can be repeated one time during the next possible time period.
• The regular period of study is 4 semesters. 1. The master’s examination counts as provisorily (temporarily) failed if the regular period of study has been exceeded by more than one semester for reasons within the student’s control, and 2. as permanently failed, if the regular period of study has been exceeded for more than two semesters for reasons within the student’s control.
• If you have a reason which qualifies for a deadline extension, please consult the examination office (ISC).

Supervisor: Elisabeth Stöckl

Cyber attacks, data loss, and cyber extortion are the top-3 most important risks that directors and officers perceive, on average, their firms to be facing currently. Cyber risk is characterized by the interdependence between different entities, which makes it distinguishable from many other risks. Moreover, corporate cyber losses can take many different forms, ranging from data protection claims from third parties and business interruption to loss of reputation. Consequently, some firms may want to purchase cyber insurance to be protected against the financial uncertainty caused by cyber risk. However, not all potential cyber losses are insurable, as it is, for instance, difficult to quantitatively measure the reputational loss after the occurrence of a cyber incident.

The goal of this thesis is to analyze the impact of uninsurable losses (background risk) on corporate cyber risk management decisions. First, the author should review the literature on the demand for cyber insurance when risks are interdependent. Second, findings about the impact of uninsurable background risk on insurance demand should be summarized. Finally, the author should introduce a theoretical model, which analyzes the corporate demand for cyber insurance in the presence of uninsurable background risk and risk interdependence between firms.

Guidelines for advanced external lab courses in the Master program

Before starting any advanced lab course (F-Praktikum) in the chemistry master program, you have to fill in this registration form (PDF, 199 KB) and to sign it by the supervisor! You can also get this registration form in the Examination Office in room F5.018 , where it has to be submitted afterwards.

Advanced lab courses can also be performed external of the LMU Departments of Chemistry or Biochemistry (in Germany and also abroad). In this case you should take care of the equivalence e.g. workload (SWS) or duration of the course. To acknowledge the credits of an external lab course you have to find an official supervisor at our departments (= Prüfungsberechtigter) who is working in a related research field.

According to the regulation of the Examination Committee only one advanced external lab course can be accepted in the Master of Chemistry.

If the official supervisor has accepted, he/she rates the report with a mark and transfers this information to the Examination Office if the lab course has been passed.

Regulations for the preparation of master theses

Each student must independently look for/apply for a place in a working group. The start of the master thesis will then be arranged directly with the supervisor.

Admission requirements are the passed F-internships according to the two majors.

The master thesis has to be registered before starting by filling in the registration form and signing it by the supervisor. This also applies to external work (see below)! The form has to be collected in person at the examination office F5.020 and returned there. Please also participate in the evaluation of the Master Thesis - your feedback is important for us. The questionnaires are also available in F5.020.

• Master thesis layout form: Masterarbeit-Formblatt.pdf (PDF, 13 KB)

Regulations for the preparation of external master theses

The Master's thesis can also be carried out in an institution outside the Department of Chemistry of LMU Munich (applies to Germany and abroad). In this case, please try to find a supervisor at the department (=authorized examiner) at the beginning of your planning and discuss the project with him/her.

An informal application for the preparation of an external paper must be submitted to the Examination Office, which will be verified and assessed by the Chairman of the Examination Committee. The application must state the following:

• subject area of the work
• the external supervisor (with details of the host institution)
• the official reviewer at the Department of Chemistry who is doing research in this or a related subject area (must be agreed upon in advance)
• signature of the official supervisor from the department.

Basically, a proposal (project description) of the work must be submitted.

In addition, it must be stated that the external supervisor will prepare a appraisal (with grading according to the ECTS system) after the submission of the thesis and forward it to the official supervisor of the department.

Optional Thesis

Preparation of a master's thesis is optional in both the Environmental Science and Civil Engineering Master’s programs. Students electing to perform a master's thesis on a topic under the guidance of a faculty member must pass ENVS 696 or CIVL 696 Master's Thesis Defense (0 semester hours) in the semester they expect to complete their thesis. The defense is in the form of a written thesis and an oral presentation. A thesis committee determined by the student and primary research advisor determine if the student has mastered the subject matter of the thesis, understands the work done by others, and can critically assess that work and his/her own work. No later than two weeks prior to the thesis defense presentation, the student must provide their written thesis to their thesis committee for review. Formal requirements may be obtained from the program director. Please see our  research page  for further information on research opportunities.

Thesis students also have the option to enroll in a 3-semester-hour master's thesis independent studies (ENVS 695 or CIVL 695 Master Thesis) in any term. The master's thesis independent studies can satisfy an Elective requirement, may be taken a maximum of two times, and may be taken only once in a semester.

Change of Program

Students with non-engineering undergraduate or postgraduate degrees can change into the Civil Engineering Master’s Program (Environmental Engineering or Water Resources Engineering) at any time provided that they 1) meet all Civil Engineering admissions requirements and 2) are in good academic standing (3.00 GPA or better).

GIST: Greenhouse Gas Insights and Sustainability Tracking (Bachelor and Master Thesis, you will work with Python)

Financial regulators and central banks are increasingly integrating sustainability aspects into their operations. The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) mandates that ~50000 European companies will have to publish sustainability reports in the future, a great source of data for statistical analysis.

One particular challenge is that companies communicate their sustainability information through unstructured PDF reports that contain both numerical and textual data. To make this information amenable to quantitative research, GIST applies Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Large Language Models (LLMs) for data extraction.

Possible tasks include:

• you could implement additional features using Python in our data extraction pipeline and/or compare different methodologies.
• you could review, replicate and extend existing literature that makes use of sustainability reports.

If you are interested, please contact [email protected] with your CV and a short explanation of why you are interested in this topic. In addition, please describe how familiar you are with the topic.

Large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT have been a disruptive development in the world of artificial intelligence with many promising opportunities. As part of this thesis you would develop an R package to help students learn statistical programming in R and resolve errors in their code using the OpenAI API. Your package will be made available to hundreds of students in introductory courses for statistics and statistical programming across the LMU and you have the option to evaluate the collected data from these trials. If you are interested, please contact [email protected] and cc [email protected] with your CV and a short explanation of why you are interested in this topic. In addition, please describe how familiar you are with the R programming language.

Cross-Cultural Examination of Algorithmic Fidelity: Comparing GPT-3 and Survey Results (Bachelor and Master Theses)

In this thesis project, you'll extend the current research on "algorithmic fidelity" (Argyle et al 2023) in large language models to a new socio-cultural context. Choose a country and an election or a unique survey topic, and compare the model's output to actual survey results.

Your tasks will include:

• Applying the concept of algorithmic fidelity in the chosen context.
• Investigating GPT-3's response complexities relating to the interplay of ideas, attitudes, and the socio-cultural context of your chosen setting.
• Identifying and examining potential biases in GPT-3's algorithm within your chosen context.

This project presents an opportunity to make significant contributions to a novel intersection of AI and social science, providing valuable insights into language models. Please contact [email protected] with your CV and a proposal regarding the area of application if you are interested．

Dynamic Fairness and Algorithmic Decision-Making (Master Thesis)

Public agencies are increasingly automating the allocation of scarce public resources by making use of risk prediction models. While a wide range of studies focuses on bias in the application of such models, the long-term fairness implications of algorithmically assisted decisions are not fully understood. Building on the emerging literature of dynamic fairness, this project aims at studying feedback loops and the long-term consequences of algorithmic decision-making in social contexts. If you are interested, please contact [email protected] and cc [email protected] with your CV and a short explanation of why you are interested in this topic. In addition, please describe how familiar you are with the topic.

Policy Learning for Fair and Effective Interventions (Master Thesis)

ML methods are increasingly used in combination with ideas from the causal inference literature to explore heterogeneous treatment effects. Such approaches are useful, for example, for personalizing treatments in medicine or for selecting optimal treatment regimes in the delivery of welfare state measures. While topics such as explainability and transparency have already been studied in the past (see, e.g. policy trees), the connection of the causal learning literature to the fairML literature is still weak. However, it is well known that there are many biases present in data used for developing personalized treatments in medicine or in access to welfare state measures. Therefore, we seek students interested in exploring the connection between causal learning and fairML. If you are interested, please contact [email protected] , [email protected] , and cc [email protected] with your CV and a short explanation of why you are interested in this topic. In addition, please describe how familiar you are with the topic.

Replicate a Meta-Analysis (Master Thesis)

This meta-analysis of 70 studies (Konrath et al. DOI: 10.1177/1088868310377395) claims that US college students' empathy levels have fallen over time. The decline really picks up in 2000. The authors speculate that the decline is due to social media use. Could the effect be due to changes in survey mode or declines in survey response rates over time? You would replicate the paper and add these methods variables. If you are interested, please contact [email protected] and cc [email protected] with your CV and a short explanation of why you are interested in this topic. In addition, please describe how familiar you are with the topic.

Multiple Imputation of Partially Observed Covariates in Discrete-Time Survival Analysis (Master Thesis)

We are seeking a motivated Master's student to embark on a methodological thesis project aimed at extending the scope of substantive-model compatible (SMC)-FCS multiple imputation (MI) techniques in discrete-time survival analysis (DTSA) to accommodate time-varying variables. Building on our existing work, which has successfully extended SMC-FCS MI for time-invariant covariates, this project will tackle the additional complexities introduced by time-varying variables. The successful candidate will conduct comprehensive Monte Carlo simulations to evaluate the extended methodology, and contribute to refining the practice of discrete-time survival analysis in the presence of missing data. If you are interested, please contact [email protected] with your CV, student records and a short explanation of why you are interested in this topic. In addition, please describe how familiar you are with the R programming language.

Harnessing Machine Learning for Early Detection of Cognitive Impairment

Mild cognitive impairment (MCI), affecting over 15% of adults aged 50 and above, often progresses to dementia, underscoring the importance of early detection. This thesis project focuses on developing innovative, machine learning-based diagnostics for MCI using non-invasive data collection methods. Unlike traditional approaches that rely on extensive neuropsychological testing unsuitable for widespread screening, this project proposes the use of machine learning algorithms to analyze computer use behaviors, particularly mouse movement data. Participants in a large Internet panel, engaging with surveys on various digital devices, will have their mouse movements recorded. This data will serve as the foundation for developing algorithms capable of predicting levels of cognitive functioning and identifying early signs of MCI based on how participants interact with standardized tasks and questionnaires. This project presents a unique opportunity for students to contribute to critical advancements in medical diagnostics, offering a cost-efficient, automated, and unobtrusive method to potentially delay the onset of severe dementia symptoms. If interested, please email your CV and a brief explanation of interest in the topic to [email protected] and CC [email protected] . Also, we ask you to please describe your familiarity with the topic.

We also welcome a thesis topic of your own! Please do not hesitate to contact us.

Cell death and immunity in the lung disease COPD

AG Conlon/Yildirim – LHI/CPC Helmholtz Munich Neuherberg

Have you ever heard about COPD? C hronic o bstructive p ulmonary d isease is a chronic lung disease. It is the third most common cause of death! Especially after COVID-19, everyone is aware of how important it is to have a healthy lung. Our group is part of the Institute of Lung Health and Immunity (LHI) at the Helmholtz Munich. Our main goal is to better understand how our lungs work, especially under challenging conditions. Our focus is the understanding of how immune cells contributes to the disease development and progression in particular in COPD. We published recently Ferroptosis, a newly discovered type of cell death to occur in lung epithelial cells of COPD patients and smoked mice1. We would like to better understand the exact underlying mechanism and the pathway regulating genes involved in COPD.

• You are interested in immunology and disease-related mechanisms ?
• You want to better understand one of the most interesting organs in the body, the lung ?
• You want to practice already gained knowledge and are motivated to learn more methods ?

Then you are the perfect candidate for us! And here is what we offer you:

• You will be able to investigate a quite newly described type of cell death , called ferroptosis in the context of COPD!
• You will work in the lab using interesting techniques (WB, qPCR, FACS, cell culture including lipidperoxidation and cell viability readouts)!
• You will be perfectly guided by your direct supervisor (Postdoc) that always has time for you!

You think this is the best opportunity to finish your masters or to gain new experience in a long-term practical course? Then feel free to contact us : Dr. Aicha Jeridi: [email protected] .
