Bachelor’s thesis

 

The bachelor’s thesis is a “term paper” that has to be written as part of a course with continuous assessment.

Students of the bachelor’s programmes in Business Administration or International Business Administration (curriculum versions of 2014) have to write their bachelor's theses in the course of a “Bachelor’s Thesis Seminar”.  You do not have to submit any further forms. Just as with all other courses, the lecturer will directly enter your grade.

Please refer to your curriculum to find out whether you have to write one bachelor’s thesis or two bachelor’ theses as part of your degree programme. In the degree programmes in Economics and Statistics, as well as in the “old” curricula for Business Administration/International Business Administration (versions of 2011), the bachelor’s thesis takes the form of an additional paper written in a course with continuous assessment. The lecturer will grade the thesis. (Please refer to the curriculum to see the eligible courses).

Once you have decided to write a bachelor’s thesis as part of a certain course, please inform the lecturer about it and submit the form for the grading of bachelor’s theses.
