Masterarbeiten | Master Theses

Thank you for your interest in writing your master thesis at our department.

Every semester we supervise around 30 master theses in the area of international management. A prerequisite for writing your master thesis at our department is the participation and successful completion of the course “Advanced Methods of Management Research IV” with a result of 2.7 or better.

Every semester, we offer two application phases in which you may apply for a master thesis at the Department of International Management. These application phases start approximately four weeks prior to the next assignment date. With the start of the application phase, you can join our StudOn group and inform yourself about the new master thesis topics offered by us. As a next step, you will have to complete our Master Thesis Seminar before applying for your preferred topics.

The Master Thesis Seminar involves working through our Guidelines for Scientific Theses (to be downloaded from our website) as well as our e-Learning on Academic Working and Writing (more details in the StudOn group). After you have worked through our guidelines and the e-Learning, you will have to complete a short multiple-choice test.

Once you have passed the multiple-choice test, you can apply for a maximum of five different topics. On the assignment date, you will then receive an email from us which informs you if you were assigned a topic and which one of your five preferences you were assigned to.

After one topic has been assigned to you, you will have to work on and submit a short exposé (thesis proposal) to your thesis advisor, which outlines the research question(s), objective(s), structure and planned methodology of your bachelor thesis. The exposé has to be completed and submitted to your supervisor within four weeks. Afterwards, your advisor will provide you with a detailed and written feedback on the submitted proposal. If we accept your thesis proposal, we will register your thesis at the examinations’ office. From that moment onwards, you will have six months to write your master thesis and may consult with your advisor when needed.

Please see the StudOn group for further information.
