Theses and Seminar Papers
Prof. Rösler is happy to supervise your bachelor’s or master’s thesis. Please approach him directly or email him your request for supervision. You register for seminars in unisono.
For both theses and seminar papers, Prof. Rösler provides a detailed guide to writing academic papers. Its advice is deliberately detailed and is meant to help you write a convincing academic paper. The guide sets out clear assessment criteria and shows how to structure a paper sensibly, phrase it precisely, and cite correctly.
The ideal is a text that could be published as a journal article.
Supervision includes a thorough introduction to academic writing in international law and a meeting to discuss your outline. The whole process is designed to support you step by step in writing a paper that is academically sound and carefully worded. From choosing a topic and structuring the material to drafting the manuscript, clear guidelines and supervision meetings provide reliable orientation and encourage independent work of assured quality.
Supervision Request
Attach your CV and your transcript of records to your email request.
Choosing a Topic
Two to three weeks before you register your thesis, you develop a topic together with Prof. Rösler.
Outline Meeting
You discuss your outline with Prof. Rösler in a separate meeting. For theses, it takes place after about a quarter to a third of the writing period.
Oral Examination
After submission, you defend your paper in a free presentation, followed by a discussion of the subject and the announcement of your grade. For seminar papers, you receive your grade by email afterward.
