All formal requirements: Formvorschriften für wissenschaftliche Arbeiten 

Please also note that, due to pseudonymisation of data during plagiarism control, no personal data (matriculation number, name, CV, etc.) may be included in your thesis from page 7 onwards. Please DO NOT include a CURRICULUM VITAE in neither the electronic nor the print version.

Further Information for Publication in your Thesis: Website "Büros Studienpräses".

There should be at least one meeting between the supervisor and the student during the work on the Master's thesis, at least before the first version of the thesis is completed. Supervision does not take place during the master conservatory.

Students may expect to receive written or oral feedback on questions and preliminary written statements within 4 weeks during the lecture period. Supervisors may also expect to receive written feedback on questions and comments within 4 weeks during the lecture period.

The supervisor may, in agreement with the SPL, withdraw the confirmation of supervision if, over a longer period of time and in spite of repeated reminders, there is obviously no progress in the completion of the Master's thesis.

The Master's thesis should - taking into account the respective discipline - be structured along the lines of articles in leading scientific journals. Please discuss the specific contents and structure with your supervisor. The general formal requirements of the University of Vienna are binding. According to scientific models, the thesis should be of a scope appropriate to the topic.

The current formal requirements can be found in the corresponding regulations of the University of Vienna.

There are specific requirements for the layout and the data listed for the title page of the academic paper. To ensure that your title page is correct in terms of form and content, the system in  u:space will automatically create it from your data.

Please do not use a title page that you have created yourself in advance, as this will not be accepted during the formal check.

If two students would like to co-author their thesis, they should keep the following in mind:

• Both students must apply individually for approval of the topic with the director of studies (SPL) and submit the required form at the SSC.
• Both authors must submit three bound version of the completed thesis to the SSC.
• The students must adhere to the title page template for co-authored theses when creating the title page of their thesis.
• The table of contents must convey which author wrote which chapter. This is the only way to ensure individual and separate assessment of each student (UG § 81 (3)).
• The electronic version of the thesis must be uploaded to u:space by each author.

After successfully uploading the thesis, students will each receive an upload confirmation (3-page PDF). The students must sign and submit this confirmation as well as the bound printed versions of the thesis to the SSC.
