Types of theses

Every student must submit a thesis in text form (Bachelor’s thesis, Master’s thesis or doctoral dissertation). In certain cases, students will also submit a recorded or unrecorded artistic work or artistic performance. For clarity, these are indicated in the Academic Information System (KOS) with the upper-case letters “A” through “E” as follows:

• "A" Theoretical work (required for every student)
• "B" Text of a play, screenplay, photographs, projects, documentation, work previews etc.
• "C" Audiovisual record of a play, film, video recording, etc.
• "D" Interpretive work (played concert, conducted work, directorial or choreographic work, dancing appearance, acting appearance)
• "E" Composition
