Supervision by experienced researchers
Your thesis is supervised by a researcher at the institute, in coordination with your university.
Careers
Bachelor’s and master’s theses at the FIH
Academic theses (B.Sc. & M.Sc.). Students can write their thesis here at the institute, embedded in an ongoing research project and supervised by one of our research units.
What to expect
What we offer
A thesis at the FIH is part of the institute’s scientific work, not a project on the side.
Embedded in ongoing studies
Theses are usually written within a running project, with a clearly defined question and a realistic time frame.
Access to data and methods
Depending on the topic you work with registry data, study data or qualitative material, and are introduced to study design, analysis and documentation.
Work in an interdisciplinary team
Medicine, nursing, psychology and data management work closely together here. You take part in internal meetings and colloquia.
Research units
