Requirements

Registration for a final thesis requires the number of credit points prescribed in the respective examination regulations. If you have any questions about the requirements, please contact the responsible examination office.

In order to register your thesis, the signal account “Requirements for registering the final thesis met” must be shown in your grade report.

Choice of topic

Topics from the chair's topic catalog will be given priority. You can find the topic catalog below this text. If you are interested in a specific topic from this catalog, please contact the relevant supervisor first.

However, it is also possible to submit your own topic suggestions (especially when working with practice partners/industry). In this case, it is essential to submit an exposé (2-4 pages maximum) when contacting us, which will serve as a basis for the chair to assess the suitability of the topic.

Please note: Suggesting your own topics can extend the waiting time!

Contact

For inquiries about theses, please only use this contact form.

Please fill out the contact form completely and submit it via email to the chair's secretariat Ms. Werry along with a current grade overview from the examination office.

Please make sure to submit both documents and fill out the form completely to avoid time-consuming queries.

Due to capacity utilization, the chair reserves the right to give preference to students who have completed an advanced course at the Chair of Business Administration & Mobility and at the previous chair.

Registration of the bachelor's or master's thesis

Registration for a final thesis takes place via your supervisor once the topic has been determined by the chair.

The completed thesis (Bachelor's/Master's thesis) must be submitted to the responsible examination office on time and in printed, triplicate copies. Also an electronic version (USB stick/CD).
