Theses

Our chair supervises theses every semester. Topics are based on the current research priorities of the chair, and your own proposals are welcome. Theses in cooperation with a company are possible in principle if your assigned supervisor agrees. This cannot be guaranteed. Due to limited supervision capacity, we select students based on their academic performance and the quality of the submitted documents.

We mainly supervise students from the degree programmes B.Sc. Business Administration and Economics, B.Sc. Digital Transformation in Business and Society, M.Sc. Business Administration and B.A./M.A. International Cultural and Business Studies. In individual cases, students from other degree programmes are also supervised in consultation with the respective examination board. The students themselves are responsible for initiating and coordinating these consultations.
