Some Erasmus students prepare a thesis during their stay at the FU and conduct research for it in the laboratory or in the library (BA, MA or PhD thesis). However, the rule applies that the thesis must always be supervised and graded by the home university. ECTS credits are also awarded entirely by the home university; the FU does not award ECTS credits for research.

However, it is possible to include research at the FU in the Learning Agreement, but with the addition that ECTS credits are not awarded by the FU, but only by the home university.

If, in exceptional cases, you are willing to supervise the thesis entirely at the FU, please discuss this in advance with the central Erasmus office at the FU (incoming@fu-berlin.de).
