Final thesis

We offer the opportunity to write your Bachelor or Master thesis as well as your project studies with us. In general, all students who have taken at least one of our classes are eligible to write their thesis at our chair. Topic proposals from your side are very welcome. They should, however, be thematically related to our research focus. Regarding Master theses, we put emphasis on empirical work. Should you wish to write your Master thesis with us, we recommend to also complete your project studies at our chair, as this can serve as a foundation for your thesis. Project studies usually include a coursework of 12-15 pages and a presentation at the institute. The main objective is to identify a research question, sketch a research design and find suitable data.

If you are interested in writing your thesis with us, please contact Tobias Böhm (tobias.boehm@uni-muenster.de). We kindly ask you to include the following points in your request:

 

  • General information: name, course of study, student ID, classes already taken with the Institute of Public and Regional Economics (lectures and seminars);
  • Topic proposals / research questions;
  • Motivation;
  • Research design / methodology;
  • Planned starting date for your thesis.
  • Ideally, you can already name at least two scientific papers which can serve as an entry into the literature.

As you have to register your thesis with the Examination Office of the School of Business and Economics on time, we kindly ask you to contact us in a timely manner, so that we can specify your topic and title together.

We have put togehter a guide for you, which contains all relevant information on writing academic papers with the Institute of Public and Regional Economics.
