Possible experts
Notes:
- Regardless of who supervises the thesis, it is always carried out in the 1st main subject or Master's subject.
Example: If your 1st major subject (= Bachelor's subject) is information science, but the thesis is supervised by a reviewer from another subject (e.g. media informatics), it is still a Bachelor's thesis in information science. - One of the two reviewers must belong to the Bachelor's or Master's subject.
