1 ORIENTATION - 6.11.2023 At the beginning of the bachelor thesis it appears to be very overwhelming. That is why it is important to get an overview of everything that needs to be taken care of. This includes finding a supervisor and building a peer network. To make the bachelor thesis as relaxed as possible, it is essential to deal with time management. In this section you will find some tips that will help you to set up a suitable structure and work setting.

This table shows you an overview of the aspects you need to consider in the individual phases. To get more information about the individual phases, have a look at the respective sections in Moodle and ask questions in the lecture or tutorial. Some of these steps may happen at the same time for you, adapt these suggestions to your own needs.

Supervisor Communication

How to approach potential supervisors You can choose the topic of your Bachelor's thesis yourself. However, it is also possible to write your Bachelor's thesis on a given topic. In this case, members of the University of Lüneburg or another university that is authorised to teach can specify a topic. However, it is also possible to choose an external person as second supervisor, if this is done in agreement with the first supervisor, whereby the Bachelor's thesis can also be written at an institute or in a company. For suggestions of topics for your Bachelor's thesis, it is best to ask a professor at Leuphana University of Lüneburg

Here you will find a list of institutes and working groups that can be considered for your bachelor thesis.

Topic suggestions for the bachelor thesis of various working groups can be found here:

If you have your own topic ideas and want to find a supervisor, you can proceed the following way:

1.Find topic idea(s)

• This can be rough and not completely narrowed down yet.
• BUT: A first literature search has to be done beforehand.

2.Find suitable persons or institutes on the faculty website

• https://www.leuphana.de/einrichtungen/fakultaet/nachhaltigkeit/institute.html

3.Contact suitable supervisor(s) (select favourite)

• The following information should be provided when contacting the supervisor
  • Topic and scope
  • Time period in which the bachelor's thesis is to be written
  • Possible ideas for the methodological design
• Who could be a second supervisor?

• paths: routes along which people move throughout the city;
• edges: boundaries and breaks in continuity;
• districts: areas characterized by common characteristics;
• nodes: strategic focus points for orientation like squares and junctions;
• landmarks: external points of orientation, usually an easily identifiable physical object in the urban landscape.

The table below displays an ideal-typical process of the Walking exercise.
