Can a master’s project be done outside the FAU?

It is possible to do the master’s thesis outside the FAU, both at another research institution or in a company. In this case, it is necessary to have a co-supervisor from the FAU who formally supports the master’s project and is responsible for the final grading. It is up to the students to find a co-supervisor. They are supposed to contact potential co-supervisors early in the process and not only after a final agreement with an external institution has been reached. It is up to the co-supervisors how much they get involved in the project, but usually the involvement is limited.
