What regulations apply to the final thesis in the M.Sc. in Business Management?

The question refers to the M.Sc. Business Management program.

  1. The final thesis consists of a written Master's thesis and an oral defense. The course of the thesis is based on the student research project and also includes literature research and topic coordination. The Master's thesis includes the concrete implementation, the development of recommendations for action and, ideally, a further outlook on future projects as well as the adaptation and, if necessary, the further development of current methods.
  2. The Master's thesis should comprise approx. 80 pages (+/- 10 %) with a completion time of approx. 6 months and is assessed by at least two examiners from the university.
  3. The thesis can only be submitted once all performance records (with the exception of the thesis and the defense) have been completed with a grade of at least "sufficient". If the two written assessments of the thesis also result in a grade of at least "sufficient", the thesis can be defended in a presentation as the final proof of achievement.
  4. The defense is an oral examination in front of the examination board with the involvement of at least one full-time lecturer from the university. The defense lasts approx. 45-60 minutes. The weighting factor of the thesis is 75% for the written part and 25% for the oral part of the performance.
