Welcome to the page for theses at the Chair of Sociology at the University of Hohenheim. Here, you will find all relevant information to compose your Bachelor's or Master's theses and to be supervised at our chair.

Topics

Our chair offers a broad range of topics related to the transformation of work for theses. We would be delighted to supervise your thesis on a sociologically relevant issue. You are encouraged to explore our research focuses, research topics, or our courses. We also have compiled a list of possible topics in our topic catalog that you can use for inspiration. Alternatively, feel free to bring your own topic ideas – we are excited to hear them.

Sociology is an empirical science, encouraging both qualitative and quantitative research. Previous experience with empirical work is recommended.

Application Process

Students who wish to pursue a thesis at the chair should review the application process in advance. Details regarding specific requirements and deadlines can be found on our website.

Guidelines and Formalities

To ensure a smooth process, we have set up clear guidelines and formalities for the creation of theses at the chair. You can find this information in our thesis guide, available for download here. We urge you to read this guide carefully, paying close attention to all the requirements, to make sure you understand them thoroughly.

Supervision Process

Once it is clear that you will be writing your thesis at our chair, we will get in touch. For an initial discussion, please send us the completed file, including a short abstract (250-500 words) and a rough outline. Send all necessary documents to constanze.halsband@uni-hohenheim.de.

Subsequently, we will coordinate with you on your topic ideas and schedule a date for a short presentation at our chair. Following this, your thesis will be registered. Naturally, we will also coordinate your empirical approach afterward.

Additionally, you have the opportunity to connect with your fellow students who are also writing their theses with us through an ILIAS course. There, you will find helpful information for your thesis. We will gladly add you as a member once it is confirmed that you will be writing your thesis at our chair.

We look forward to supporting you with your thesis at the Chair of Sociology. If you have further questions, feel free to contact constanze.halsband@uni-hohenheim.de for more information.
