Business Administration and Engineering

In both study options, the thesis is characterized by the academic exploration of a research topic with the goal of achieving publishable results. Depending on the chosen study option, you will complete the thesis over one or two semesters. Cooperation with research institutes (e.g., Fraunhofer) is encouraged, and in study option B, the Master's thesis can also be written in collaboration with a company.

The time spent working on your thesis allows you to examine your topic in detail. It also provides the opportunity to attend specialist events, such as trade fairs or conferences, and to incorporate the insights gained from these events into your thesis.

The academic intermediate colloquia, part of the so-called Master’s Seminar, offer a platform for topic-related exchange with professors and fellow students from the Faculty of Management Science and Engineering. During these colloquia, you will present your research findings, defend them, and practice responding to critical questions. These sessions are valuable preparation for the final colloquium, where you will present and defend your Master's thesis.

The ultimate goal is to publish the key research results obtained through your Master's thesis.
