New project works
for Spring Semester 2025
Students who are interested in writing their project work at the Chair for Hydraulic Engineering at VAW are asked to fill external page this form by 01.12.2024.
We keep a list of interested students and will communicate the acceptances by Wednesday, 04.12.2024 the latest. Later applications are also possible, though the range of available topics may be limited.
Topics marked with ** are conducted under external supervision. For topics marked with * or ** is it required to get in touch with the responsible contact person given in the topic description (to get to know each other and to clarify questions) by 25.11.2024.
Additional information for Civil Engineering: If you are planning to continue your project work as a Master's thesis in the following semester, please ask the contact persons for the respective topics directly. For some suitable topics, you will find further information at the end of the topic description. In general, only research-oriented topics can be continued as a Master's thesis.
Topics in glaciology are provided on request. Please refer to this site for more information.
