Thesis Assignments

Master and bachelor students from the University of St.Gallen have the possibility to conduct research and write their theses on topics relevant to the Latin American region.

Informed by ongoing research and/or co-developed by institutional partnerships, participating students benefit from GIMLA’s strategy to close the practice – academia gap. This is done for several selected topics and based on two major modalities.

The first thesis modality offers the unique possibility to work close to and with other researchers and aim at skills development of students in scientific conduct.

The second thesis modality offers topics informed by current development challenges that are do-developed with different institutional partners. Results are shared with these stakeholders and have the potential to influence current development practice.
