Course content
The bachelor's thesis gives the student the opportunity to concentrate fully on the German language, literature or culture - also across disciplines. The thesis must be written in German. This will help the student develop their German Language skills as well as their ability to understand and produce text. Working on the bachelor's thesis will thus improve the analytical competence and understanding of important academic questions. The bachelor's thesis must include a Norwegian abstract.
