Thank you for your interest in a student project at IFS. We are always looking for dedicated students who are interested in rail vehicles. On this site you will find information on how to apply for a thesis. For organizational questions regarding registration, the student advising team will assist you.
All applications must include a cover letter. Please note that applications that do not fulfil the guidelines on this page may not be processed.
Under this link you will find a list of currently available topics. Many of the postings can be adjusted in scope to fit the desired examination format (Bachelor or Master thesis). Applications for these should be sent directly to the contact person listed in the posting.
Information about external theses and unsolicited applications can be found in the section below.
If you wish to submit an unsolicited application, please send it to Abschlussarbeit@ifs.rwth-aachen.de. Ideally, your application should already include a working title and a rough schedule.
Under special circumstances, it may be possible for you to conduct your thesis at an external company, with supervision provided by IFS. In this case, please submit an unsolicited application to the aforementioned address. Applications for external projects must include the contact information of the supervisor at the external company.
If you wish to submit your internship presentation, please send an inquiry to Abschlussarbeit@ifs.rwth-aachen.de. Inquiries should, in addition to the above-mentioned information, include the planned period, the company, and the contact person there. Please understand that only internships related to our industry can be considered.
