Unofficial thesis, report and paper template for Munich University of Applied Sciences (Hochschule München).

ℹ️ Currently supports FK07 and FK21 (MUC.DAI) theses, Modulararbeiten and Computer Science (IG) Hauptseminar papers.

Getting started

Initialize the project via the Typst CLI:

typst init @preview/scribbling-hm

Or search for scribbling-hm in the Typst web app under “Start from template”.

After initialization, open main.typ, fill in the properties below, and start writing.

print-list-of-listings Show the list of listings (default: true)
print-list-of-tables Show the list of tables (default: true)

Draft mode

If you set draft to true, your thesis will have written “ENTWURF” all over the place. This will help you to keep track of whether you’re finished or not.

Additionally, if you’re in draft mode, you can use these helpers:

#todo[Something to do]
#done()

Variables

The variables-list is helpful if you want to pre-define frequently-used phrases, including their formatting. You can use them just like the abbreviations.

IMPORTANT:
Your keys must be unique across all files (abbreviations.typ and variables.typ)

Layout modes

Use layout-mode to choose how pages are laid out:

  • "screen" (default): single-sided layout with symmetric margins (2.5cm)
  • "duplex": double-sided print layout with mirrored inner/outer margins (inside: 3cm, outside: 2cm) and mirrored headers/footers
  • "bound": single-sided layout with a wider left margin on every page (left: 3cm, right: 2cm)

Example:

#show: thesis.with(
	// ...
	layout-mode: "duplex",
)

Modularbeit

The template also supports project documentation for a Modularbeit. Use modularbeit-documentation instead of thesis and provide a subject, the authors, and a project description:

#show: modularbeit-documentation.with(
	subject: "Graphentheorie",
	authors: ("Erika Mustermann", "Max Mustermann"),
	project-description: [Gruppe x - Thema x \\ Traveling Salesman Problem],
	study-name: study-name.IFB,
	draft: false,
)

Modularbeiten do not include the thesis declaration, abstract, or blocking notice. Lists of abbreviations, figures, listings, and tables can be disabled individually with the corresponding print-* parameters. A complete example is available in examples/modularbeit.typ.

Hauptseminar

The template also supports Hauptseminar papers. Use hauptseminar-paper and provide the course of study, authors, supervisors, and the seminar major via major:

#show: hauptseminar-paper.with(
	title: "Hauptseminar paper title",
	language: "de",
	study-name: study-name.IGM,
	author: "Erika Mustermann",
	supervisors: "Prof. Dr. Max Mustermann",
	submission-date: datetime.today(),
	major: major-name.AISE,
	draft: false,
)

The seminar layout includes a dedicated title page for the paper and a course/major label. A complete example is available in examples/hauptseminar.typ.
