Theses – Universität Innsbruck

Scientific work

Bachelor's theses, Master's theses and dissertations can be completed at the Department of Environmental Engineering on an ongoing basis. For all theses, it is particularly important to us that students are involved in the research activities of the department. On the one hand, this guarantees high-quality supervision and, on the other, offers the opportunity to work on current scientific issues using state-of-the-art methods. Collaboration with companies is also possible. This creates a direct link to practice.

You can obtain information about available topics or similar either here, in the relevant courses, as a notice in the Institute's display case or directly from our staff. You can also suggest your own ideas or topics.

The Bachelor's thesis is regulated in the curriculum of the Bachelor's degree programme in Civil and Environmental Engineering in § 6. In contrast to diploma and master's theses, the bachelor's thesis is not a scientific paper. Students are entitled to complete a Bachelor's thesis as part of the course Urban Water Management UE (summer semester).

The Department of Environmental Engineering offers a variety of different topics with different focal points, for example

Laboratory work

Measurements at the Campus Technik

Collaboration in research projects and concrete planning in co-operation with engineering offices and the municipality

You will receive information about the Bachelor's thesis process at the beginning of the summer semester as part of the course. All required documents can be found at here.

Currently free topics for a master thesis:

Smart rain barrel

Effects of smart metering in water-rich areas

Influence of blocked inlet shafts on the risk of flooding

"Low-tech" and "low-cost" data for the calibration of sewer network models

Hydrodynamic sewer network calculation Fieberbrunn (Contact: Manfred Kleidorfer)

Hydrodynamic sewer network calculation / flooding calculation Kufstein (contact: Manfred Kleidorfer)

Climate-friendly square design, improvement of the energy and water balance at Dr. Lugger Platz in Innsbruck (contact: Manfred Kleidorfer)

Please also note the showcases on the ground floor and 3rd floor as well as at the counsellors. We also have ongoing topics on current research projects that are not announced separately here

Master's theses can be written in either German or English.

Dissertations are written at the Department of Environmental Engineering as part of current research projects. Independent, high-quality scientific research and familiarisation with the international scientific community is the aim of a dissertation. Thus, in addition to writing the actual thesis, a dissertation includes international publications, conference visits and research stays abroad. Usually, dissertations at the Department of Environmental Engineering are written as cumulative dissertations, i.e. they include several publications in national and international journals.

Due to copyright restrictions imposed by the publishers, the theses made available for download here usually do not contain published articles, but only the outline. The articles can be requested from the authors.
