Literature Study

Generally, a literature review is the start of the research preparation on a certain scientific topic. This is necessary to establish what the latest developements in the field are (state-of-the-art) and to identify gaps in the literature. The subject of the literature study is related to the expertise field of your supervisor. For this reason it is necessary that you first do some preliminary reading and research on the subjects of your interest (look at the web, read some papers, talk with group members or students). If you have found a supervisor, please formulate clearly what the subject and scope is of the literature study and make a clear time-planning.

The subject of the study MUST NOT overlap with the subject of the MSc Thesis work, because this is already a part of your thesis project.
