Master thesis

Writing a Master thesis is mandatory for all medical students, it completes the Master programme and is a prerequisite for being admitted to the Federal exam. The Master thesis is an individual, scientific document, in which students prove their capacity to use methodological tools to analyse and investigate a topic related to clinical medicine, biomedicine, computational science or the human sciences.

For students who want to start their Master thesis, a list of more than 100 topics is available on www.icorsi.ch. Students can either choose from the topics list or define their thesis topic together with their thesis supervisor. Once defined all the relevant steps, students need to complete the “Master thesis agreement” and hand it in by email to the Dean’s Office ([email protected]).
