About Thesis Management

Thesis Management addresses inefficient manual thesis management processes at large universities through a web-based platform. The system digitizes the entire lifecycle from student applications to final grading and supports multiple research groups within an institution.

The platform serves three stakeholders: examiners (professors), supervisors (doctoral candidates), and students. Key features include:

• A structured application system allowing students to apply directly for specific thesis topics.
• Centralized document management for proposals, theses, and presentations.
• Built-in feedback mechanisms for proposal and thesis review.
• A Gantt chart overview showing timelines and progress across multiple theses.
• Role-based access control with specific permissions for students, supervisors, and examiners.
• Automated notifications for important milestones and updates.
• Multi-research-group support, allowing different research groups to manage their topics, users, and data independently.
• Customizable email templates that enable group-specific communication for key events in multiple languages.
