Congrats! You have completed probably one of the biggest challengse of your (academic) life. But what will happen now? We advise you to think about future plans way before you are finished with your thesis, as finding a job or master can take some time and deadlines, especially concerning the latter, may be over before you finish your thesis.
Master
During the Bachelor's thesis, a lot of time is spent on writing the thesis, but you should not forget to plan the next steps, such as applying for a Master's degree. For most Master's programs, the application period starts between May and June, but there are also universities that have even earlier application periods. Therefore, it makes sense to create an overview of the Master's programs you would like to apply for and by when. It will also help you not to be totally overwhelmed. Don't worry if you are not sure what you want to study. It can be beneficial to apply to many Master's programs and make your decision when you have been accepted to several programs. Sites like Studycheck can help you discover new Master's programs or do some research on the websites of universities in cities you find interesting. Dare to apply for master programs where you might be worried that you haven't completed the appropriate Bachelor's degree.
