Master's Theses

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Unfortunately, we cannot take any applications for bachelor's or Master theses for Q3 & Q4 due to substantial upcoming changes at the chair.

Step 1: Preliminary selection of the topic

Here you can get an overview of potential research foci and topics in which Master's theses are currently offered. We are generally open to your own suggestions for topics that are not directly included in the list but are related to our main research areas. Usually, master's theses include an empirical analysis in addition to a literature review. We highly encourage your Master's theses written in English.

Step 2: Application at the Chair Unfortunately, we cannot take any applications for bachelor's or Master theses for Q3 & Q4 due to substantial upcoming changes at the chair.

Once you have found a topic you would like to study (or even better, a shortlist of topics you would like to study), please contact Dr. Felix Hoch via this contact form.

The application period at the Chair for Transformation of Work runs until one month before the end of the official registration period of the examination office (please find the exact deadlines below). We may not be able to take later applications into account.

We will give you feedback on your application as soon as possible and will provide you with necessary further details.

Step 3: Registration at the Examination Office

After receiving the confirmation of the Chair for Transformation of Work, you must register your Theses at the examination office. Even if some details regarding your topic are still open, the registration at the examination office can still take place anyways.

Step 4: Individual Support and Theme issue

During the last month of before the term for the topic issues (e.g. in September for a topic issue in Q4), you will be connected with your individual supervisor.

Now you can contact your supervisor to prepare the start of your thesis ("Themenausgabe"). Together with your supervisor you can than specify your preferred topic and agree on a date for the topic issue. Starting your thesis can take place digitally or in person at the chair. Please submit a completed guidance card ("Leitkarte") to your supervisor. You will get all necessary information for the procedure of the topic issue with your confirmation of the chair. From this point on you can always reach out to your supervisor with further questions.

For the topic issue, you will also be added to a Learnweb course with all further information, formal requirements and helpful tipps on topics from literature research to submission on your final theses.

You will find more information on the formal criteria on the website of the examination office. You can calculate the exact start and submission dates for your specific thesis period in the online calculator here.
