An overview of the BSc thesis timeline

Writing a BSc thesis made easy(er)!

This website helps you get an overview of the steps involved in writing a bachelor thesis. It makes available readings and other resources to help you write a BSc thesis consisting of a research synthesis (e.g., rapid review, scoping review, systematic review, systematic review and meta-analysis). The slides for each session are also posted on the site.

Before the start of the semester please take some time to read the FAQs and the Faculty of Psychology’s page on writing a bachelor thesis.

Please note that this site is work-in-progress and may be updated on a regular basis and throughout the semester. Please send suggestions for improvement or corrections (e.g., incorrect/missing URLs) via email to the instructor - thank you!

Sessions will take place Tuesdays, 8.15-9.45, Missionsstrasse 64a, Seminar Room 00.009.
