At the end of the processing period, you submit your thesis via the University of Erfurt's digital examination platform "UNIwise". From here, it will be distributed to the expert reviewers after internal processing. The most important prerequisite for your work to be sent to the expert reports is that it is submitted on time (see below for deadlines).

Your digital master's thesis must contain the following documents in one PDF:

• Manuscript of the thesis
• German abstract of the thesis (guideline: 200 words), which is inserted after the title page in the thesis.

The PDF document must not exceed a size of 20 MB. In addition to this file, a further file with attachments or appendices can be uploaded. Please attach a binding PDF file here:

• declaration of independence signed by hand (in blue) (scan or digital signature);

1. Follow the link from the WISEFlow e-mail or click here: UniWise.
2. Click on the "eduGAIN" button under the "Select registration" tab, select the University of Erfurt as your educational institution and log in to the system with your data.
3. You have already been activated for the "Master's theses in MEd" flow. Please click on this flow now.
4. Please upload your master's thesis in PDF format using the "Upload" button.
5. If necessary, add another document with attachments to your thesis.
6. Then select the "Click here to submit" field on the right-hand side of the overview.
7. Have a submission receipt sent to you by email.
8. Your work has now been submitted digitally and will be forwarded to your expert reports for assessment.

Please note:

• You can only submit your thesis once and cannot withdraw it afterwards. Please check your details and attachments carefully beforehand.
• There is a size limit for the PDF of the master's thesis of max. 20 MB. Use the appendix to attach another larger document. Several documents can also be uploaded here in a compressed file (ZIP format). Furthermore, Adobe Acrobat, for example, offers the option of reducing the size of PDFs (see: Tools, Optimise PDF).
• For group work, each person submits the group work via their personal account.
• Your reviewers will have access to your work as soon as you have submitted it.
• Your reviewers have been asked to submit the expert reports on your work to the ESE in the usual way. You will be contacted by us when the result for your master's thesis has been finalised. You will not be notified via WISEFlow.

All theses are subjected to a plagiarism check after submission and compared with all other theses at the University of Erfurt and on the Internet and stored on the University of Erfurt server for further plagiarism checks.

For this reason, you are not obliged to submit the usual cover sheet for master's theses, which shows your personal details. Please also avoid any information in the thesis that contains personal data about you or other persons. This is for data protection purposes.

A data protection-compliant cover sheet for your thesis will be generated by WISEflow upon submission. Most of the entries are made automatically. You only need to enter the title of your work.

Do not upload any additional materials (e.g. videos, interview recordings) that contain sensitive and/or personal data (including faces, first names, etc.). These materials are often not required for the assessment, as their transcripts are sufficient for the evaluation. If such file attachments are required for the assessment, they must be anonymised. Please be sure to discuss with your expert reports which attachments should be submitted before uploading files to WISEFlow.

Master's theses must always be submitted digitally. Compliance with the submission deadline is determined solely by the receipt of the thesis in WISEFlow. If your expert reports also require a printed copy, this must be submitted to one of the ESE secretariats no later than 3 working days after the submission deadline. From here, it will be distributed to the expert reports. Direct submission of printed copies to the expert reports is not permitted. Formatting and binding requirements can be specified by the expert reports.
