Bachelor and Master theses

Requirements.

We supervise theses mainly in Finance & Accounting and Marketing, Strategy & Leadership. Applications from other fields are also welcome.

Important information to consider 

Application

Applications for theses at the Chair of Corporate Management can be submitted at any time. The application procedure depends on whether you apply for an offered topic or want to suggest a topic on your own.

Please follow one of the three different possibilities: 

The following documents are necessary in order to process the application:

One single PDF-Document:

• Application form [ Bachelor ] [ Master ]
• Current grades
• Curriculum vitae in tabular form
• (Summary of suggested topic if specific topic on your own or with professional partner)

Kindly refrain from preliminary enquiries and submit your complete application documents. We are only able to make a decision on account of your documents.

In case you have been denied twice - either with your own proposal or with your application for a Master thesis - please contact the Department Head Accounting & Finance: Prof. Dr. Reiner Braun, [email protected] . In cooperation with the involved chairs, he will assist you in finding an adequate master thesis topic for you. However, we are unable to guarantee that you will be able to work on your own proposal.

We suggest topics students may apply for. Students may also suggest their own topics.

We specialize in management accounting, behavioral accounting, personnel economics, behavioral economics, and questions regarding energy-efficient trading in corporations and sustainability. Applicants who consider suggesting their own topics should make sure that these are in these fields.

We also supervise theses in these fields that are carried out with companies (professional partners). Applicants can put forward their professional partners. These theses should touch on a concrete problem existing in the workplace. The scientific requirements are also essential.

Applicants who wish to put forward their own topic must prepare a summary of 1–3 pages ( Instructions [PDF, 200 kB]). The summary is the foundation of finding the topic and coordinating between the applicant, the supervisor and, if relevant, the professional partner.

According to the examination regulations for Economic studies the duration is as follows:

• Master thesis: (TUM-BWL/TUM-WIN): six months
• Master thesis: (MBA/EMBA): three months
• Bachelor thesis: three months

The assessment of your thesis will take up to 2 months.

Please take this deadline into consideration if you have to meet other deadlines like e.g. changing to a Master program or transferring to another university. If you require the grade for a specific deadline, then you must submit your thesis at least 2 months beforehand and register earlier on accordingly.

The applicant receives a message of acceptance or refusal. In the event of an acceptance, the applicant will also be informed the name of the supervisor who should be contacted.

If necessary, the topic is modified with the supervisor. The time between defining the topic and the official start of the thesis should as a rule not take longer than 4 weeks. The registration of the thesis should be done in this time frame at the Grade Management TUM-School of Management (Noten- und Prüfungsverwaltung der Fakultät für Wirtschaftswissenschaften).

During this time students are encouraged to contact their supervisors regularly. This should be on the initiative of the students.

Furthermore, we recommend to present your research within the final theses colloquium. Please contact your supervisor for more details.

The submission is made by email to the Grade Management ( [email protected] ) and not to the supervisor. Forwarding by the Grade Management to the supervisor takes place after review and approval by the Grade Management.   To be submitted:

• Thesis with signed Declaration of Authorship (digital signature is sufficient)
• Permission to view (as an extra PDF)  https://www.mgt.tum.de/download-center

All other files (Excel lists, surveys, etc.) can also be attached and will be forwarded to the supervisor or you as a student can send the documents to your supervisor on your own. If the supervisor requires a printed copy in addition to the digital version, please, submit it directly to the supervisor.

All further information on submitting the final thesis can also be found in an information sheet in the download section of the TUM School of Management under Final Thesis:  https://www.mgt.tum.de/download-center
