Abstract
This is a revised and shortened version of a MSc thesis submitted to the University of Sussex, UK. An introduction into the pre-string physics of black holes and related thermodynamics is given. Then, starting with an introduction of how superstring theory is approaching the problem of black hole entropy, work on that and closely related topics like Hawking radiation and the information paradox is reviewed.
