The Master's thesis can be written at an institution outside 51ÁÔÆæ and TU Darmstadt. In this case, the topic must be set in consultation with a member of 51ÁÔÆæ or TU Darmstadt who holds a doctorate and is authorised to conduct examinations. The external supervisor can be approved by the examination board as a second examiner for the Master's thesis.
