The Master's thesis will typically cover the last term of the programme. One of the main learning goals is to advance your ability to work autonomously, conceptually and scientifically within a current research project.

Topics for Master's thesis can be found on the web pages of the different research groups at IAC and/or on the web page of the protected page MSc-Seminar :

  • Group of Prof. Manuela Brunner
  • Group of Prof. Daniela Domeisen
  • Group of Prof. Robert Jnglin Wills
  • Group of Prof. Reto Knutti
  • Group of Prof. Ulrike Lohmann
  • Group of Prof. Colette Heald
  • Group of Prof. Sebastian Schemm
  • Group of Prof. Sonia I. Seneviratne
  • Group of Prof. Heini Wernli

It is also worthwhile getting in touch with the lecturers. Often, the most exciting and suitable subjects develop from a conversation.

Step-by-step guidance

There are subtle differences in the procedure between D-EAPS and D-USYS summarized in the following:

Master's thesis subjects will be presented in the first seminar of the spring semester and for the rest of the year they are published here and on the website of the research groups. You can certainly look at other institutions such as Meteoswiss, WSL and Agroscope.

The Master's thesis must be supervised by a professor of the Department, including honorary professors, associated professors and senior lecturers, or by someone on the Department's list of approved supervisors which can be found in moodle.

The Master's thesis has to be carried out under the supervision of

- a professor of D-EAPS or of IAC or

- a professor in the master programme's module courses or

- a senior scientist from the list of approved supervisors of D-EAPS or D-USYS associated with the IAC
