Thesis Labor

Support with academic writing

The Thesis.Labor area in the Olten library supports students in writing academic  papers. Here you will find relevant books, practical guidelines from the degree programmes in Olten and examples of outstanding theses at the School of Business, of Social Work and of Applied Psychology. They provide inspiration for the choice of topic, style and structure of your own thesis. Theses with well-researched bibliographies, informative tables of contents and stylistically successful abstracts are particularly helpful. The illustrative materials in the Thesis.lab are usually also available digitally via QR code.

Theses can be researched in the IRF and on the student platform.
