Writing your Master's thesis at BOKU

Your Master's thesis should be written in a topic related to Animal Breeding and Genetics and has to be supervised by a BOKU-Professor in this area. In addition, you also need a co-supervisor from your first-year-university.

To find a topic for your thesis and supervisor, you will have to contact potential supervisors directly. It is useful to pick a topic and supervisor in the area of your study which you personally prefer. Some departments/institutes offer theses topics on their webpage or during a thesis fair, which is promoted on their webpages. You can also check the pinboards of the institutes for project announcements or get directly in contact with lecturers in the areas where you want to write your thesis.
