Without knowing the class you're using, here's an attempt.

\documentclass[a4paper]{book}
\usepackage[pass,showframe]{geometry} % showframe is just for the example

\usepackage{kantlipsum} % just for the example

\begin{document}

\frontmatter

\begin{titlepage}
\newgeometry{margin=3cm}
\centering

\vspace*{\stretch{2}}

\Large The Title of my Thesis

\vspace{\stretch{1}}

\normalsize The duration: 12 weeks

\vspace{\stretch{0.5}}

\begin{tabular}{ll}
Submission date & xx.yy.zzzz \\[2ex]
Student's name  & Name \\[2ex]
From            & Place
\end{tabular}

\vspace{\stretch{3}}

\begin{tabular*}{\textwidth}{@{}l@{\extracolsep{\fill}}l@{}}
My name & My professor's name \\[2ex]
        & My supervisor's name
\end{tabular*}

\vspace{\stretch{2}}
\end{titlepage}

\restoregeometry
\cleardoublepage

\tableofcontents

\mainmatter

\chapter{Introduction}

\kant

\end{document}

The important option for geometry is pass, whereas showframe is just for showing that the cover page is centered on the page. If you already use geometry, just set its options and remove pass.
