 ===How to find a thesis topic/supervising Professor===
 There is no central announcement of thesis topics available. Thesis topics are announced by the institues on their web pages and/or their bulletin boards. You will have to look for a suitable topic and in case you have a preferred institute you may contact the Professor and/or the Ph. D. student being responsible for the respective lecture(s) to ask for a thesis topic.
+The natural contact to ask for a thesis topic is an institute where you got a good or better very good mark in the repsective exam. Here you can easily prove your interest in the topic.

 ===Supervisors (First/Second,Internal/External)===
 Any supervisor must be listed at RWTH administration (ZHV) as examiner.
-All Profs. of our department AND all Professors involved in teaching in Materials Engineering are examiners by definition.
+All Profs. of our department AND all Professors involved in teaching in Materials Engineering (International profile) are examiners by definition. Any Professors outside our department are generally external supervisors. There are rare exceptions of Professors with affiliation to two faculties, in this case sentence 1 of this paragraph is valid.
 Professors may have PostDocs of their institutes be appointed as second examiners.
 Formally, the directly supervising person (mostly Ph. D. students) is of no relevance.
