This page is for students wishing to do their master's work under the supervision of a PhD student from the AAIL.

Two scenarios are possible:

• You wish to undertake an academic thesis. You will then be asked to write a Master's Thesis Proposal .
• You wish to do your master's work in the form of a company internship. You must then already have a company internship ensured and a supervisor from the company (see Master Thesis with a company).

<aside> ⏰ Application Guidelines for Master's Thesis Supervision

Capacity: We do not publicly disclose our remaining supervision capacity. However, we typically supervise approximately 6 Master's theses per year.

Application Timing:

1. Spring Semester Theses:
   • Apply 2-3 months in advance (preferably in October-November)
   • This early application significantly increases your chances of acceptance
2. Fall Semester Theses:
   • Applications a few weeks before the semester starts are generally acceptable

General Recommendation: To maximize your chances of securing supervision, we strongly advise applying 2-3 months before your intended start date, regardless of the semester.
