The time has come: you are on the home stretch!

The Bachelor's or Master's thesis is your big project, the crowning glory of your studies in Corporate Education.

To get started, first contact the University Examination Office to receive the application for admission to the Bachelor's thesis (or Master's thesis), in which the ECTS points you have earned so far (100 in the Bachelor's, 40 in the Master's, 120 in the two-subject Bachelor's) are confirmed.

You will need a teacher to supervise your thesis and another to write the second report. You choose this person yourself from among the lecturers and ask whether there is capacity for supervision in the period you are aiming for. It is best to find out in advance on our homepage what the lecturers' respective research focuses are.

You may already have a topic that interests you and on which you would like to carry out an intensive academic project. The content of your degree course can serve as inspiration, as can the experience you have gained during your internships and/or working student activities. Experience has shown that many students already bring concrete concerns from an organization with them, which are then fleshed out into a scientific question in exchange with the supervisor. Under certain circumstances, however, topics are also made available by the lecturers for processing.

Information on the structure and assessment criteria of a thesis is also covered in Seminar 4.3 Research Methodology in the Bachelor's degree. If you no longer have the materials available, they can be made accessible as a .pdf or video in Panopto.

Basic information on academic writing and citation will be available as a - hopefully entertaining - video presentation here after approval by the secretary's office: Olat link

We wish you every success!
