Student Theses

The Institute of Transportation and Urban Engineering at the Technical University of Braunschweig (IVS) represents the disciplines of integrated transport planning, transport engineering and environmental protection in the overarching context of urban and regional planning in research and teaching. In this context, interesting scientific and practical questions and tasks regularly arise for student projects.

 

Notes and recommendations

Information and recommendations on the content and formal structure of student papers and on academic work in general can be found in the Institute's information sheet.

 

Thesis defense

The results of all student work are regularly presented to employees and other interested parties at a lecture event.

Topics

Below you will find a list of subject areas that can be worked on at our institute. If you are interested in writing your thesis or seminar presentation in one of these areas, please get in touch with the relevant contact person directly. They will be able to talk to you personally about the possibilities for working in the subject area. You are also welcome to contribute your own ideas.

If you have your own topic suggestion and do not know exactly which area to assign it to, please contact Stephan Hoffmann. He will discuss the proposal with you and, if necessary, forward you to the right contact person.

If you are interested in writing a student thesis in another European country, please also contact Stephan Hoffmann. The IVS has contacts with other universities which can be used in individual cases.
