Final Thesis

Here you can find all information on submitting a final thesis (Bachelor’s thesis and Master's thesis).

You will find information on the regulations for the final thesis in specific degree programs on the degree program pages.

Submission to the Examinations Office by Deadline

You must submit your thesis to the Examinations Office by the deadline.

You will be informed of the date for submission when your registration is confirmed. The submission date can also be found in the study planner on HohCampus:

The electronic version of the thesis (pdf) must be sent no later than 2:00 p.m. on the day of submission to pruefungsamt@uni-hohenheim.de. If the submission is not possible within the deadline due to technical problems/due to sending it late, the failure to meet the deadline is usually considered to be your own fault. This means that the thesis will be graded with 5.0.
 
If it was agreed at the time of registration that printed copies must be submitted, they can still be submitted or sent by post until 11:59 p.m. on the day of submission.

Documents required for submission

Please submit the following documents:

Submit work digitally:

  • Each thesis must be submitted no later than 2:00 p.m. on the day of submission as an unencrypted or unprotected digital text document (*.pdf) to  pruefungsamt@uni-hohenheim.de. Unencrypted or unprotected means that the document must not be protected by a passcode or password, nor must it have options that prevent copying of content.
  • The thesis must be sent from your Hohenheim email address (this email address ends with @uni-hohenheim.de). Final theses from “private email addresses” (such as those ending with @gmail.com or @gmx.de) will not be accepted.
  •  The declaration of originality for digital final theses (English version) must be signed by hand and then added to the *.pdf file as a photo or scan.
  • If the title of the thesis differs from the title in HohCampus, please submit an  application for a change of title at the latest when you submit your thesis.
  • If applicable, declaration on the use of generative AI

Printed copies (in addition to the digital document / only if agreed upon at registration):

Sending by post

You can also send your thesis by post if you are not in Hohenheim.
